X-Men (Penguin Classics Marvel Collection) #[nn]

In this foundational tale from the Penguin Classics Marvel Collection, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduce the X-Men in a story that sets the tone for mutant struggles and moral complexity. After a violent encounter with a hate-filled mob, Beast leaves the team to become a professional wrestler, only to cross paths with Unus—the mutant who cannot be touched—whose desire to join Magneto’s Brotherhood leads to a clash with the X-Men. As tensions rise, Hank’s hidden machine threatens to amplify Unus’ power, forcing the team to confront both their former member and the consequences of their own choices. Cover by Chic Stone, with colors by Stan Goldberg and letters by S. Rosen.
