Up for bid is a lot of 21 X-men comics from the 1991 series, including the entire Jim Lee run (issues 1-11). Issues included in lot: 1 (Deluxe foldout cover), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 25 (Hologram cover; Magneto rips the adamantium out of Wolverine), 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30 (Jean and Scott get married).
