The Marvel Comics Library: X-Men

A lavish, oversized hardcover from Taschen, The Marvel Comics Library: X-Men (2023–present) collects the first twenty-one issues of the original 1960s series, from the debut of Professor X and his teenage mutants through the introduction of the Juggernaut. This single-volume edition, curated by art historian and designer Josh Baker, reproduces the comics in pristine, restored color from the original printer's proofs, accompanied by an introductory essay and historical notes. It's a definitive archival presentation of the early adventures that laid the groundwork for the X-Men's enduring legacy, celebrating the foundational work of writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby in a format that emphasizes the art and storytelling of the era.
