Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1, Marvel Comics, 1963–2011)
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
The flagship mutant title of Marvel Comics, Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 chronicles the rise, fall, and evolution of the world’s most powerful team of outcasts. Beginning with Professor Charles Xavier’s original class—Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman—the series transformed over the decades into a sprawling saga of identity, prejudice, and heroism.
Reinvigorated in the 1970s by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum, the book introduced a bold new roster featuring Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler, setting the tone for a modern era of complex storytelling and international scope. Through the years, the series explored landmark arcs such as The Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, Inferno, Age of Apocalypse, and Fatal Attractions.
Running uninterrupted from 1963 to 2011, Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) remains one of the most influential and enduring superhero series in comic history—defining not only the X-Men themselves, but the very heart of the Marvel Universe.
