Description
This CGC 7.0 White Pages copy of Alpha Flight #1 was published in August 1983 and marks the launch of Marvelβs Canadian super-team into their own ongoing title. Spinning out of their popular appearances in X-Men, Alpha Flight quickly became one of Marvelβs most successful team books of the 1980s.
Written and illustrated by John Byrne, the oversized debut issue presents the origin of Alpha Flight while introducing key team members Puck and Marina. The iconic bright yellow cover features Alpha Flight alongside several major Marvel heroes including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, and the X-Men, making it one of the most recognizable Marvel covers of the era.
Alpha Flight #1 remains a popular collector book due to its X-Men connection, John Byrneβs involvement, and its importance as the foundation of the Alpha Flight mythos. Copies with White Pages continue to attract strong interest from Bronze Age and Copper Age Marvel collectors.
This example presents well for the grade with strong color saturation, excellent eye appeal, and the security of professional CGC certification. An excellent addition to any Marvel, X-Men, or John Byrne-focused collection.
