Creative Cat Productions | Issue number 8 in 1964 was the birth of the X-Men as captivating storytelling about social issue @creativecatproductions | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 48 minutes ago.
The first 7 issues of the X-Men were pretty vanilla superhero adventure stories wherein Charles Xavier’s students battled a different “villain of the month” in each new issue. However, things would take a turn for the interesting in issue 8, in the fall of 1964, when Stan Lee took a stab at exploring some of the social and philosophical implications of having a superhero team that were also “mutants”…..super-powered people born differently from mainstream society. To this day people continue to draw parallels between X-Men and the Civil Rights movement, and this was where it all began!
