| Tough subject to search for, but what is the resale value of a first cover apperance of a new character? Not the first internal apperance, just a cover apperance. Thinking of the Robin King variant cover in Death Metal #3. | ||

| The 1st cover appearance seems to be the new trend with escalation of a value of a comic. It seemed to start with that new Captain Marvel 2nd print something or another where she's on the cover. Now Knull and who knows what else I'm missing Like most things in this industry lately, it doesn't have to make sense - it just is. This is not always the case, but certainly occurs often. |

| . Third-party grading has definitely helped perpetuate this trend. Since collectors can no longer open the comic, they would like to actually see the character on the cover of their expensive book that is now locked in a plastic shell. |

| Funny this came up. A month or so ago I bought the Flash 106 first Gorilla Grodd with a cover of Pied Piper. This week for far less money I bought the first Gorilla Grodd cover, which I find far more appealing for display purposes. The first appearance without a cover appearance is a bit of a letdown. | ||

| One can’t ignore media interest ...past, present & future... as a factor in value speculation For instance, even a GA character’s first appearance has future growth potential...  First cover/interior appearance of The Vision by Simon & Kirby. The character may have changed a great deal during the intervening years, but the concept and successful execution of the character in a modern mainstream media context adds fuel to it’s market potential. |

| @CatmanAmerica is this Vision the same Vision as the Avengers character? Are they the same character or do they only share the same name? I guess I'm asking is Avengets 57 the Visions 1st appearance or first silverage appearance? |

| Avengers 57 This is the first appearance of the Silver Age Vision. He is not to be confused with Aarkus, the alien Vision of the Golden Age |

| @GAC Check this out. The cover of Avengers #57 is actually an homage to the Marvel Mystery Comics splash page featuring the first appearance of the Golden Age Vision   |

@Bronte Thanks!! I didnt think they were the same. Why do CBCS labels print this way then? This makes it look like he's the same character as the GA one. Its like the Avengers 4 label referencing Cap. |

| I actually bought/prefer Fantastic Four 49 rather than 48 as it has Galactus and the Surfer on the cover, a first for both. | ||

Here is an example of an over busy cover with no Nebula on the cover. I never liked this cover.  |

| I remembered the covers I was thinking of: Gwenom in Gardians of Knowhere #1/Spider-Gwen 24, Mary Jane Venom in ASM 678. Then with Dark Metal #3 coming in August with the Robin King variant cover. It doesn't seem that CBCS or CGC denote a first cover appearance of a character, that I could find. | ||
