Back in September Grey Matter Art released Marvel Comics’s iconic double gate-fold cover to X-Men #1 (1991) by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, and to say the response was positive is an understatement! The image depicts the ‘90s X-Men Blue and Gold Teams band together to square off with the mutant master of magnetism, Magneto, in one large epic sequence. In an effort to get this beautiful print to more people, GMA is revisiting this classic image with a new Foil Variant!
As GMA explained, the Foil Variant “not only helps accentuate the art in a new and gorgeous way but also makes this cover truly pop! We’re not only releasing this Collectors Edition Cover Art as a Timed Edition but we’ll also be releasing the remastered and re-colored 20th Anniversary Variant Edition with colors by Thomas Mason as a Limited Edition Foil, too!”
X-Men #1 by Jim Lee and Scott Williams is a 36”x16” hand numbered fine art giclee on Metallic Silver 300gsm paper. The Foil Timed Edition will be available for pre-order starting at 1pm ET on Thursday, May 13th, through 11:59pm ET on Sunday, May 16th, at GreyMatterArt.com for $65. The 20th Anniversary Foil Variant, which drops at the same time as the Foil Timed Edition, is limited to 200 pieces and will retail for $75. Collectors can also purchase a matching number set of both prints for $130.
