To play “devil’s advocate” why is an AD Considered “1st appearance”?

I drew Spawn in my head in the mid 80's.
That should count as the 1st appearance

Don’t get me wrong; if a Cheap book With a certain ad is going go up in value I’m going buy in and take advantage of the market’s decision.

Do we trust that site/app?

Looks like the first appearance is Spawn #1 (Direct edition only 😉).

There was a Comics Buyer Guide (CBG) issue that had an article about Image comics and Spawn.
That's the 1st appearance of Spawn because they mentioned Spawn in the article

By all standard measures, 1st appearance of spawn in comics is #1.

The issue collectors / speculators have is there were millions of those printed and hence some have sought to grab more obscure "1st" appearance in anything from that time such as preview magazines etc.

Grab the Newsstand edition of Spawn 1. Supposedly, it was printed in a ratio of 1/100 compared to the Direct Edition.

Also, just to be safe, you could grab Malibu 13 & Rust 1. Then you’ve got yourself a sweet set.

Never knew about the newsstand ratio - I have my newsstand in for press/grade right now!

In the instance of Spawn #1, yes, the newsstand edition is the rarer version.

Just know that this is not always the case.

Heck, at one point in time, every comic produced was a newsstand edition.

It's the transition years one needs to be aware of.....theres a tipping point where DE became higher circulated....before this point, NS was higher circulated.

This is not common knowledge and unfortunately many retailers/sellers will use the “newsstand” edition” excuse to justify charging higher prices for certain back issues that were produced at a way higher ratio than “direct edition”.

There is a previews issue with a cover appearance of Spawn that predates both rust 1 and Malibu sun 13

If you want to overpay for ads then buy the right ad
