The Amazing Adventures #11 in context
Why collectors care
The issue in which the Beast transforms into his furry form, cover-dated March 1972, written by Gerry Conway and drawn by Tom Sutton. The grey-then-blue furry Beast is the version every later adaptation uses, making this a genuine character-defining book.
How to identify it
Amazing Adventures #11 (volume 2), March 1972. The Beast's first appearance is X-Men #1 (1963); this is where the furry look begins.
Common mistakes
Treating this as a first appearance. It is a transformation issue — significant, but a different claim from a character debut.
Grade considerations
A lower-print-run early-70s title, so high-grade copies are scarcer than the modest prices suggest.
