X-Men History
Marvel SuperHeroes
The first comic book featuring X-Men was created by Stan Lee, famous writer of Marvel Comics Universe, and artist Jack Kirby. It was published September 1963.

With the Giant-Size X-Men in 1975, interest started growing. Chris Claremont became the main writer for the series and the series grew wildly popular during his 16 years as writer. By the early 1980s the series became a major point for many spin offs and miniseries. X-men had become the best-selling American comic books.
Variety of X-men Characters
If it is not the various media formats that brings people, the range in characters help. While many super heroes are perfect these super heroes are flawed. The good guys make mistakes and do not always know what to do. The bad guys are not entirely bad. They are real and they sometimes get mixed up and sometimes they do things because they are right not because they are "good" or "bad".
The variety of personalities helps people relate to the X-men. Many people can relate to the histories of particular X-men heroes and villains. That history also helps one see why the character decided on a particular direction or why they are confused. The emotions, the history, and personality of the characters has been captured beautifully in the statues below.

- I cut my reading teeth on Marvel comic books in the 60's and X-Men was one of my favorites. I had no idea that there were so many collectibles associated with them, though. Wow! What a collection you've assembled here of Marvel Comics X-men Statues by Bowen Designs. Excellent work!
