The Marvel Milestone series reprints the most famous stories from the Marvel Comics’ early days. With the exception of the front covers, these were exact, page-for-page facsimiles of the original editions, complete with the original ads.

Among the issues reprinted in this series is X-Men (1st Series) #1, the debut of Professor Charles Xavier and his extraordinary students, the X-Men. The original X-Men consisted of five members: the Beast, Iceman, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, and the Angel. The members were teenagers with mutated genes which gave them “X”-tra powers over normal humans. As a rule mutants were not accepted by society. This prejudice turned some mutants against mankind, and so it is that Magneto, the X-Men’s first and most powerful enemy, is introduced in the first issue.
