X-23 Vol. 4 #1, Parrillo Unknown Comics Excl, CGC 9.6 (11), Marvel '18

Lucio Parrillo Unknown Comics exclusive variant cover.

X-23 Vol. 4 #1 marks the launch of Mariko Tamaki and Juann Cabal's 2018 ongoing X-23 series at Marvel, following Laura Kinney, her sister Gabby, and Gabby's wolverine Jonathan as they carve out an identity separate from the Weapon X program and the broader X-Men roster. This copy carries the Unknown Comics exclusive Parrillo variant cover, one of several Lucio Parrillo covers produced for this issue, each featuring his distinctive painted style. The Unknown Comics version circulated in low numbers compared to standard direct-market covers and has maintained steady presence in price guides and graded-book marketplaces since release.

This copy has been graded CGC 9.6, certification number 1300014011, placing it in near-mint-plus condition and making it a strong slab for a Laura Kinney or X-23 run collection. Tamaki's run, collected as X-23, Vol. 1: Family Album, brought a character-driven, family-centered tone to the series that set it apart from prior X-23 volumes. Cabal's interior linework and the Parrillo painted covers together made the first issue one of the more visually varied launches in Marvel's 2018 slate.
