In the Mighty Marvel Manner, the mutant menace, The Vanisher, makes his first appearance in one of the highest graded copies ever offered by ComicConnect – X-Men #2 CGC 9.6. 

“Only two copies in the known universe are CGC-certified higher than this one,” said Vincent Zurzolo, COO of ComicConnect. “This book is a true beauty.”

Still trying to find the feel and style of the series, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced a traditional, albeit mutant, villain to plague the teenaged heroes. The Vanisher used his genetic mutations to teleport in to top secret government areas, steals national secrets, and demands billions of dollars from taxpayers in an exciting standoff on the lawn of the White House. The mutant hero/villain motif became the backbone of much of the Marvel line, but this charming and telling early issue shows the foundations still being laid for hero greatness to come.

This monthly auction also features Detective Comics #12 CGC 6.5 Windy City Copy, Ms. Marvel #1 CGC 9.8, New Teen Titans #2 CGC 9.8, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 CGC 7.0, X-23 #1 CGC 9.9, along with over 1,600 additional lots.

“We’re still adding comics to the auction through the evening of October 23, 2017 so please contact us if you need any assistance,” Zurzolo added.
