Why It Matters

The combination of Kitty Pryde's debut and the first appearances of Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw gives X-Men #129 several distinct points of interest. Kitty and Emma would become enduring parts of the X-Men cast, while the White Queen and Shaw are closely associated with the Hellfire Club.

The issue sits at the beginning of the Dark Phoenix Saga, bringing new characters into the Claremont and Byrne run as the Hellfire Club conflict develops. For collectors building that storyline in individual issues, #129 is an important starting point.

This copy adds the UK 12p price variant to those character debuts. The pence cover and CGC's explicit UK Price Variant designation make the edition clear, while the 9.2 grade and off-white to white page quality are recorded on the holder.
