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. | ||

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. |

. 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 ![]() |
