Giant-Size X-Men #1 Page 26 by Dave Cockrum (Marvel 1975)

WoW! Great piece!

It's amazing; I love it! And the front side is good, too.

Giant-Size Classic!

Great page, congratulations

Phenomenal page from this historic issue, congrats!

Awesome, well done!

Man!  A great looking piece of art for sure, and yeah, only from one of the most important single issues in comic history!  Sincere congrats!

Love it! Thanks for sharing this one

Wow, a true piece of history—excellent!

Truly historic, but also a great page in its own right.  Lots of characters and great storytelling!

fantastic page with a great sktech

Big time congrats on landing such a nostalgic piece of comic book history! The sketch on the back makes it even more special!

You were a smart man to pick this up in 2005 and even smarter not to let someone pry it out of your collection! Sure, other people say “insert title” is a more important comic, but for many of us THIS IS THE COMIC! This is the spark that set the comic world ablaze... the birth of the All-New, All-Different X-Men. CONGRATS!!!

SWEET!!!

Congrads! I bought this issue off my local downtown newspaper/comic book/magazine stand when I was 13 years old in spring of 75. I was already a huge fan of Dave's stunning art. From his work at DC on Superboy & the Legion of Superheroes. LOVED this art,characters everything immediately. I bought like 5 copies right away. Which was $2.50 a lot of money for me back then. I'm like 99% sure the inker was Sam Grainger though. Not Cockrum.  

Wow, what an experience to have bought Giant-Size X-Men #1 off the shevels when it first came out!  Were you already a serious collector at age 13 or did you just have a sense that the comic was going to be huge?

Hi James

   I was wrong about Sam Grainger inking thisd issue. I guess I'm getting old and or simply forgot. Grainger inked issues #95-#99. Ibought like three for myself and the other two I gave to two of my friends. Who had it much even rougher then I did as a kid. I wish I still had my once huge collection. I actually had like ten copies by 1980 along with like 3-5 copies of Hulk #180- #183. I was and am a much bigger fans of the Wendigo & Crackerjack Wilson in #183. Then I ever was of Wolverine. I had no siblings my age. So my copies were all F,VF,NM & mint. I actually stored them back then in telephone book long boxes.

Fantastic page and sketch!  Thanks for sharing!

Incredible page, congrats!

A piece of history for sure - and I always enjoyed Sunfire's appearances!

Wow!  Such a tremendous piece of comic history to have in your collection, congrats!!  Such an amazing uncanny time in comics and X-Men lives. 

I am commenting on this page simply because I have a special place in my heart for Sunfire. Other than that, I can't think of a single reason why a page by this Cockrum guy and these mutants (?)... would gather much attention. Nevertheless, cheers!

Fantastic page from a key Marvel!

Amazing! What a grail.

Amazing! What a grail.

Once in a lifetime indded. Incredible piece of history. Belated Congrats!
