Why This Set Matters
24 Years of X-History
A chronological sticker history of the X-Men from their 1963 debut through the contemporary '87 lineup.
Marauders' Card Debut
Arclight, Harpoon, Riptide, Scalphunter, Scrambler, Vertigo — all make their first card appearances in this set.
Sabretooth Before the Spotlight
Sabretooth appears at stickers #51, 54, and 72 — years before his enormous popularity in the 1990s.
Deep Dive
The 1987 Comic Images History of the X-Men set is one of the finest thematic Marvel card sets ever produced — a chronological survey that treats the X-Men's 24-year history as a subject worthy of serious documentation.
The Marauders' card debuts in this set are particularly significant. Characters like Sabretooth, Arclight, Harpoon, and Riptide had appeared in just a handful of comics when this set was produced.
