X-Men #78 - NM-, 9.2
Uncanny X-Men #78 (Oct 1972, Marvel)
A Bronze Age reprint issue featuring one of the strangest X-Men tales—“The Menace of Merlin!” The team takes on Warlock, who reveals his true identity as none other than Merlin the Magician himself. This story, originally from X-Men #30, is a classic mix of mutant action and mythical menace.
Notable for its Thor cameo, linking the X-Men to Marvel’s larger mythological pantheon. The cover is a reprint with pencils by Jack Kirby, interiors scripted by Roy Thomas with art by Jack Sparling and John Tartaglione.
📖 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.20.
📝 MAJ. PICTO’S GRADING NOTES
NM- (9.2) – Exceptional preservation with sharp corners, rich gloss, and clean interiors. Minimal handling wear, a strong near mint-minus copy with outstanding eye appeal.
