Giant-Size X-Men (35th Anniversary Set - Variant)

Comments: When Cyclops staggered back into the mansion — sole survivor of a catastrophic mission to a remote Pacific island — Charles Xavier was forced to make one of the most painful decisions of his life. To save the young people he had raised to be warriors for their kind, he would have to send a team of untrained, untested mutants into an almost certain death trap. Krakoa was unlike any threat the X-Men had ever faced — a living ecosystem with absolute control over its environment. But to save his students — and absolve himself of the horrible sins he'd committed in the pursuit of his goals — he is prepared to risk anything — even these six young lives.

Thirty-five years ago, one of the most influential comics of all time hit the shelves. Giant-Size X-Men #1 forever changed the world of mutants, and altered a beloved team of Super Heroes beyond recognition. In a single comic, the X-Men changed from a small group into a community, and the landscape of Marvel Comics was fundamentally altered. No longer were mutants a rare occurrence in the Marvel Universe,. There were suddenly dozens or hundreds around the world who might one day save the wordld — or threathen to destroy it.
