X-MEN #1 1969 Spanish 1st print PATRULLA X ULTRA RARE Grail READ
FIRST PIRNT OF THE FIRST EDICION SPANISH X-MEN
For the discerning comic collector, behold an unparalleled gem: the ultra-rare first print and first edition of X-Men\'s inaugural Spanish series, \"Patrulla-X.\" Released in 1969 by Vertice, this coveted edition mirrors the American comics of 1968. What sets this apart is not just its scarcity; it\'s the captivating history it encompasses. Spain, under a dictatorial regime in 1969, began easing its censorship, paving the way for the introduction of American comics. Vertice Mundicommics didn\'t have the luxury of color printing machinery, resulting in black and white interior pages contrasted by a color cover. The release strategy was different too; unable to match the American market\'s pace, several comics were combined into a single book format. This strategy gave rise to the need for a unique cover different from its American counterpart. Entrusted with this responsibility was the renowned Lopez Espi, who crafted an exclusive cover, specially designed for this premier edition.
Why is this copy special? Most of these rare comics suffered due to the inexpensive materials and finishing used at the time. However, this particular edition is arguably among the best-conditioned No.1 X-Men copies available today. While it exhibits a few usage marks (refer to the images for a detailed view), it stands as a testament to comic history and artistry. As Vertice comics gain increasing recognition among global comic aficionados, don\'t miss your chance to own a piece of history with this No.1 edition._gsrx_vers_1666 (GS 9.8a7 (1666))
