X-Factor #5 & #6 (1986)—Apocalypse’s First Cameo and First Full Appearance in One Two-Issue Set.

Before the Horsemen. Before the Age of Apocalypse. His story began here.

One of the X-Men’s most formidable enemies steps out of the shadows in these two consecutive issues of X-Factor. Issue #5 offers the first cameo appearance of Apocalypse, followed by his first full appearance in issue #6—a pivotal debut in Marvel’s mutant history.

With the original five X-Men reunited as X-Factor, these early adventures introduced a threat whose ruthless belief in survival of the fittest would challenge generations of mutant heroes. Apocalypse would become central to some of the franchise’s most memorable stories, making this pair a compelling starting point for collectors of the character.

Two connected key issues, together in their original 1986 comic-book form. A meaningful addition to an X-Men collection or an opportunity to own both stages of Apocalypse’s debut in one purchase.

Included Issues & Estimated Condition:

  • X-Factor #5 (1986) — First cameo appearance of Apocalypse — FN/VF
  • X-Factor #6 (1986) — First full appearance of Apocalypse — VF/NM

Two original Marvel comics total, one copy of each issue. Condition differs between the books. Grades are personal collector estimates, not professional grades. Please review the photographs carefully for the condition of each individual book.
