Item Description

Those teen-age mutants who have "taken America by storm" (as the cover proclaims) make their third appearance in this early issue of THE X-MEN from January of 1964! The action - and weirdness - is unrelenting at the hands of Jack Kirby as he shows the X-MEN (and woman!) meeting THE BLOB!

In "Beware of The Blob!", Professor X detects a new mutant in the city, and sends the X-Men to investigate. They arrive at a carnival and encounter THE BLOB, a very fat sideshow attraction who can bounce bullets off of his malleable hide as well as anchor himself to the earth and become immovable. The X-Men bring him back to the mansion as a potential member, but the Blob spurns their invitation and returns to the carnival. Realizing that the Blob knows their secret, the X-Men lure him back to the mansion where Xavier wipes his memory.

This copy holds together well, but cover- and page-edges are a bit ragged, there is typical toning for a 56-year old comic, and a bit of handwriting at the top of the title page. About what you'd expect of a comic that has been read and enjoyed since the 1960s! All these factors contribute to a conservative grading of 3.0 GD/VG ( you may judge it higher), for which Overstreet suggests a price of $131.00. This is the only Silver Age X-MEN #3 on HipComic and we're going to make this early key issue a bit more affordable for you X-MEN fans at just $110 . . with FREE shipping!
