Quote:Originally Posted by TowmaterI mean the series creator did say a little bit about it but his word didn’t exactly settle anything as far as printings or print runs as they were likely throwaway promotional/advertisement items without all the considerations that would go with producing a comic book |

| It seems to me that there is a very different life-cycle for characters that start in comics and then move to other mediums vs those that start in other mediums and move to comic books (adaptations). At least in modern times. Star Wars, Morty, Simpsons, Transformers, etc...The comic adaptations don't seem to hold their value that well on their own. Seems that long-term comic values are not reliable for these properties (with rare exceptions like Star Wars 1). Maybe someone can come up with some examples where this is not the case? Other than the recalled Alf book, I'm not thinking of anything after the Silver Age. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite If it wasn't clarified then the world will never know the truth around what was first, and what if anything was counterfeit. Too bad that no one had the foresight to show up at one of Justin Roiland/Dan Harmon signings with a cell phone and all the different copies of the book. They could have captured their answers about them. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Yes, she has an odd history. She was created for Batman the Animated Series, then showed up in Comic form later, but that was outside of canon, and eventually made it to the mainstream. My understanding is X-23 also took a similar route. I can't think of any other examples, and I've got a ton of worthless 80s comics. Thundercats, M.A.S.K, V, etc... none of them have really taken off. But, to be fair BTAS was a one of kind thing. I doubt we'll see any more like it for awhile. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Firestar is another one. She first appeared in the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon before transitioning into the Marvel universe. Of course, her popularity didn't match that of Harley Quinn, but she was popular nonetheless. Not so much now I guess, so I suppose we are back on topic. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson Ah, good catch. I knew I was missing someone. She had two first appearances in the comics. The first being that Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends comic, and then later in X-Men or New Mutants (I forget which.) Why she never really took off, I won't understand. I think dumping her on the New Warriors and then the Avengers did her no favors. She should have been an X-Men, but never really stuck. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater Not yet. Matter of time though. Although it’s hard to believe her first will be more sought after than lobo’s first...it’s possible she has a bigger following than her dad with today’s kids, I suppose. The 1:25 variant of her first (full) appearance has held value at about $40 raw. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

@Jabberwookie Don't forget these characters: Wonder Dog is loosely based upon Rex the Wonder Dog who first appeared in the Comics but Wendy Harris and Marvin White started in the cartoons.  Aside from the Super Friends Comic Book Series, Wendy and Marvin don't show up in the DC Universe until 2006.   |

| I remember a buddy and I driving all over the city looking for every comic with Keith Giffen art. Really hot at the time. But that was 38 years ago. Still have 20 copies of Omega Men # 1 if anybody is interested. Cheap. | ||

| Harley Quinn, X-23, Firestar all started as part of comic franchises, even though they first appeared in cartoons. In my original post I was contemplating the difference between adaptations (Transformer, Thundercats, etc) and Comic industry origins (TMNT, Deadpool, Teen Titatns, etc). It just seems the adaptations have a more consistent pattern of going from "hot to not". Just an un-researched observation. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Donnied I too remember pursuing work purely based on the hot artist or writer. John Byrne, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Giffen, etc. Seems that stuff also reaches a price ceiling pretty quickly unless you go back past the 80's (I noticed the other day that MCS is generally sold out of early Steranko covers but has plenty of copies of the surrounding issues). |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Ha! Funny about that one - I had some of those old Teen Titans from the 70's with Harlequin / Joker's Daughter. So, YEARS later, when I was out of comics and just happened to see, in a bookstore one day, that Alex Ross Harley Quinn cover, I was pretty shocked. "Damn!" I thought. "I know Joker is evil and all, but that's pretty fricking risque, posing with his own daughter like that."  |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller Heh ... you remember back when Amazing Spider-Man #298 was the collectible one, and NOT #300? That, because it was the first McFarlane issue? I was so shocked, just a few years ago, when I found out #300 is a ~$1000 book. Soooooo many copies of that issue were sold. It was HUGE. And cheap. |
