Why the Claremont run is the hardest to collect in mainstream comics

185 consecutive issues by the same writer — and every one counts

Chris Claremont's run on Uncanny X-Men (#94 to #279, 1975–1991) is the longest consecutive run by a single writer on a major superhero title. Every issue connects to the others. Without precise tracking, it's impossible to know exactly where you stand.

🔑

Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past: the most expensive arcs

UXM #129-138 (Dark Phoenix Saga) and #141-142 (Days of Future Past) are among the most sought-after issues of the Bronze Age. UXM #129 (1st Emma Frost) is worth $100–$600. Without valuations, you have no idea what your collection is actually worth.

💥

Crossovers: Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Inferno

These events affect Uncanny X-Men AND New Mutants, X-Factor, and other titles simultaneously. How do you track which issues from which series you own without a dedicated tool?

🔄

The numbering after Claremont: #280 through #544

After Claremont's departure (#279), the series continued through #544 (2011, end of the title). This period (1991–2011) includes important runs (Scott Lobdell, Grant Morrison on New X-Men, Ed Brubaker) that get less attention. Do you know which ones you own?

Common questions about the Uncanny X-Men collection

For many collectors, Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975) is the symbolic starting point — it's where the new team (Wolverine, Colossus, Storm, Nightcrawler) is introduced. Uncanny X-Men #94 is the first regular-series issue featuring this new lineup. If budget is a concern, starting with the Dark Phoenix Saga (#129-138) is a solid option: those issues are relatively affordable ($20–$100 each) and tell a complete story.
The complete Dark Phoenix Saga (Uncanny X-Men #129-138, 1980) in Near Mint represents significant value. The key issue is #129 (1st Emma Frost/Miss Frost), worth between $100 and $600 in NM. #130 (1st Dazzler) ranges from $30 to $150. #134 (Dark Phoenix, John Byrne) goes for $50 to $200. In total, the complete saga in nice shape is worth between $500 and $2,000. My Comics Collection lets you value every issue individually.
Days of Future Past is a two-part story: Uncanny X-Men #141 and #142 (1981, Claremont/Byrne). Just two issues for one of the most influential stories in comics. UXM #141 introduces the dystopian future and the adult version of Kate Pryde. Both issues are worth between $50 and $300 each in Near Mint. Despite their brevity, they rank among the most celebrated issues of the Claremont run.
Uncanny X-Men #266 (August 1990) is the first appearance of Gambit (Remy LeBeau). Following the announcement of Channing Tatum as Gambit in the MCU, the issue's value jumped considerably. In Near Mint, it's worth between $50 and $200. Before the MCU announcement, it traded at $15–$50. It's a textbook example of the MCU effect on key issues. My Comics Collection lets you track its value over time.
Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975, Len Wein/Dave Cockrum) is the first appearance of the new X-Men team (Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Thunderbird). In Near Mint (CGC 9.4), it's worth between $3,000 and $15,000. In Very Fine (8.0), between $1,000 and $4,000. It's one of the most important comics of the Bronze Age. My Comics Collection flags it as a major key issue with a valuation estimate.
No — Grant Morrison's run was published under the title "New X-Men" (2001-2004, 40 issues), which was in fact the Uncanny X-Men series renamed (#114-154 in the Uncanny numbering). After Morrison, the title reverted to "Uncanny X-Men." My Comics Collection tracks New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men as separate series, so you can follow each one precisely.
