"X-Men" kicks off a classic era of mutant mayhem in this 2005 Marvel issue, where Professor X sends the X-Men to investigate a newly detected mutant—only to find the Blob, a towering sideshow attraction with a bouncy, near-indestructible form, performing at a traveling carnival. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, Paul Reinman, and Artie Simek, the story unfolds with the team’s tense encounter, their attempt to recruit the reluctant giant, and the surprising twist that forces them to erase his memories. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby, Sol Brodsky, and Frank Giacoia, captures the moment’s gravity and spectacle.
