The Infinity Gauntlet #1 in context
Why collectors care
The opening of the Infinity Gauntlet, cover-dated July 1991, by Jim Starlin and George Perez -- the Thanos storyline that became the template for the Marvel film franchise's central arc. The event drove Thanos from a cult character to a household name.
How to identify it
The Infinity Gauntlet #1, July 1991. The story is preceded by The Thanos Quest. A variant cover was distributed only to comic specialty stores, so two distinct covers exist for this issue.
Common mistakes
Treating the direct-market variant and the standard cover as interchangeable, and buying later Infinity War or Infinity Crusade #1s -- whose collected editions used matching trade dress -- as this book.
Grade considerations
Printed in large numbers during the boom, so raw copies are common and only high grade carries a premium. The white-and-purple cover shows edge wear that caps many copies below 9.8.
