Key Debuts and Story Milestones
- X-Men #2 (November 1963) is the second appearance of the X-Men and the first appearance of the Vanisher, a teleporting thief who taunts Professor X from the White House lawn. Stan Lee wrote it, Jack Kirby drew it and Paul Reinman inked it — the credits CGC prints on the label.
Behind the Scenes and Quirky Details
- The corner roundel still reads "In the Sensational Fantastic Four Style!" In late 1963 the team had no audience of its own and Marvel was selling them on the FF's name.
