X-Men #1 (1991) Magneto Cover Variant

This is a standard-sized American comic book, specifically the X-Men Volume 2, Issue #1, released in October 1991 by Marvel Comics. The cover wrap-around art is illustrated by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, featuring iconic characters Wolverine, Cyclops, and Iceman in dynamic action poses against a stylized stone-textured 'X-MEN' logo. The color palette is vibrant, characteristic of early 1990s superhero aesthetics, with high-contrast blues, yellows, and reds. This particular copy is part of a multi-part gatefold cover series that, when collected, forms a single large illustration of the X-Men battling Magneto. The item is currently housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve (Mylar or poly-bag) with a white backing board, suggesting careful storage. Visible condition notes include minor spine stress lines and slight blunting on the corners, though the overall gloss and color saturation appear well-preserved. There are no obvious creases or tears visible on the front face through the plastic. This relaunch remains one of the highest-selling comic books of all time, representing a pivotal era in the Modern Age of comics and the height of Jim Lee's influence on the franchise's visual style. The craftsmanship is professional-grade offset lithography on standard newsprint interior with a semi-glossy cover stock.
