X-Men #130 Facsimile Szerdy Exclusive Virgin Variant Signed 📕 Unknown Comics

✨ Dazzler’s first appearance — the 1980 Uncanny X-Men landmark reprinted with Szerdy’s virgin exclusive, hand-signed. Uncanny X-Men #130 (February 1980) is one of the most historically significant issues in X-Men history: the first appearance of Dazzler — Alison Blaire, the roller-disco mutant who converts sound to light, a character designed specifically in collaboration with Casablanca Records for a major multimedia launch that never materialized but gave Marvel one of its most enduring supporting cast members. Written by Chris Claremont, penciled by John Byrne — the legendary creative team at the height of their run. This issue also features the first full appearance of Emma Frost, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. The Facsimile Edition reprints that landmark with new exclusive cover art — here, Nathan Szerdy’s Unknown Comics exclusive in virgin format. This copy has been signed by Nathan Szerdy himself.

This is the X-Men #130 Facsimile Edition Nathan Szerdy Exclusive Virgin Variant — personally signed by Nathan Szerdy, the trade-dress-free Unknown Comics exclusive for the Facsimile Edition of Dazzler’s first appearance and Emma Frost’s first full appearance.
