'Marvel, X-Men. Vol. 1. 1963-1966'

In this fourth volume from the Taschen X-Men series, the first 21 X-Men stories from 1963–1966 have been carefully reproduced from a selection of well preserved and rare comic books. The result is a Sentinel-sized tome, which was created with collectors in mind and lays the foundation for what the X-Men phenomenon eventually became. Authored by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the book introduces a host of side characters that would become Marvel regulars, such as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, the Blob, Juggernaut, the jungle dweller from the Savage Land and Bolivar Trask. It all comes together in an XXL edition that is close in size to the originals and promises to enchant any X-Men fan.
