(BALTIMORE, MD) — (April 19, 2023) — Diamond Comic Distributors and Funko have partnered on a new series of PREVIEWS Exclusive Pop! figures and comic covers, recreating the landmark battle that ushered in a new era for the mutants in 1991’s X-Men #1 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee. The first Pop! figure in the series is a faithful recreation of Wolverine.
Featuring an all-star line-up, Marvel’s milestone X-Men #1 sold a record-breaking 8 million copies. Now, the milestone event comes to life as Funko celebrates 60 years of Marvel’s X-Men with this limited-edition PREVIEWS Exclusive Pop! comic cover featuring artwork from Jim Lee’s iconic gatefold cover of X-Men #1.
