The listing, “X-Men” No. 1 (1991) has ended.
“X-Men” No. 1, launched in 1991, is still the largest-selling comic book of all-time. At the height of the speculator boom, and bearing 5 variant covers, Lee and Claremont moved 7 million copies of the first issue. A year later, neither would be on the book. Claremont left after the third issue, and Lee left after issue No. 11, headed for the upstart Image Comics. Still, these issues introduced characters like Omega Red and Maverick, and are also very emblematic of 1990s style.
