The X-Men #28 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of Banshee, cover-dated January 1967, created by Roy Thomas and Werner Roth. Sean Cassidy became a mainstay of the Giant-Size X-Men relaunch team and a long-running franchise character.
How to identify it
X-Men #28, January 1967, from the original series. Banshee debuts here as an antagonist before later joining the X-Men.
Common mistakes
Expecting a heroic Banshee — his debut is as a villain under the Factor Three storyline. Also confirm the 1967 series rather than a later volume.
Grade considerations
A late-60s X-Men issue from a period when the title sold modestly, so high-grade survival is limited.
