CycleGirl Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Front cover to back how many pages should a X-Men #1 copy be? Thanks(sorry for the newb question I tried googling) I don't have an unslabbed #1 to flip though, but a silver-age 12-cent Marvel of that era has 16 double sided pages, not counting the cover. To count for completeness, you should count 8 pages from the splash page to the centerfold (where you see the staples). You could continue and count 8 pages from the centerfold to the back page but it's not really necessary. Edited May 18, 2012 by CycleGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycleGirl Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Also of note, there are 23 story pages in X-Men #1. The other 9 single-sided pages will be ads, letters to the editor, etc. I wish I had a reader to confirm to total count.

I just counted; I have an unslabbed copy. There are 23 pages of the story and thirteen pages of ads including a full-page in-house ad for Spidey #4.

Stevenrams Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Actually I'm a new member of the club. Just bought the issue from a boardie. He alreadry posted the book. The book is a CGC 3.5 with OW/W pages. I cracked it out of the slab which I almost never do regardless of grade, but there are enough X-Men 1s to go around so I know I'll upgrade one day. Until then this will be my reader copy. I haven't read it yet; too much NBA playoffs and Stanley Cup playoffs in the evening so I don't have time to read comics now. BesidesI'm reading "Gone With the Wind" and I only have 600 more page to read. JUst started it a few days ago and I can't put it down. One of those booksI never got to just like X-Men 1.

sacentaur Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 There are 36 pages to X-Men 1 which include stories and ads. I just counted; I have an unslabbed copy. There are 23 pages of the story and thirteen pages of ads including a full-page in-house ad for Spidey #4. So Steve, just to confirm that there are 9 pages on each side of the centerfold staples in an X-Men 1, and you're not counting the covers, right? This is news to me; I thought the .12 cent Marvels were 8 pages on each side of the centerfold like CycleGirl explains above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadssifi-migration Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hello, I would like to buy an X-men 1 in midgrade with off white page or better. Raw copy would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just counted the pages on about a dozen 60s comics and they are all 32 pages. So, I guess they decided to put a little more in X-Men #1. I wonder if there are any other books where they added an extra 4 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
