| Okay....we all have seen this occur and is atill occurring. Cameos.... Some are shown in the shadows. Some have their back turned away. Sometimes the newbie is in a doorway, yet blacked out so you cant tell whom they are. Fulls.... Seen on the cover. Seen in the book as an introduction. Seen in cross-overs and annuals. What are your thoughts? Do you have any? Do you collect both? Are cameos more fun than full appearances? Are cover 1st appearances "grail" quality? Cheers to all....and thanks to those who respond. |

| Love cover appearances. I was just saying this in another thread, the first appearance of Dr Strange makes me wanna puke because he isn't on the cover. I don't care much for cameo's. I want a full appearance and on the cover. Unless its a cameo and they appear on the cover, then to me that's the book to chase. I guess my answer is ... Cover appearance trumps cameo vs full in most cases for me. |

| ok, want to throw this in. Dr Who did it. Dr #12 did a cameo in Day of the Dr, BEFORE the actor started doing the part. That was a LOT of fun. |

| It seems the term "cameo" is being misused on the labels of grading companies. Cameo is a brief appearance of a well known character at the time of publication. Here is how cameo is defined by the Oxford Dictionary: A small character part, played by a distinguished actor. |

So here's my question: Ultron, what is his first appearance? Avengers #54 or #55? Would it be #55 because he isn't explicitly named in #54? |

| I think accepting that a true first appearance doesn't automatically equal top value is part of it all as well. To use the example from @Darkga , I absolutely agree that 180 is the first appearance. There is no argument. But, I would rather own 181 (not because its worth more, but because I get a cover appearance and a story). Seems most people feel this way, as 181 has the value. @CaptainCanuck agreed, the term is used wrong. Grading companies seem to use the term "Cameo" to mean: this character first appeared here but its not good enough for a first appearance book. |

| I also don't agree with the use of the term "cameo" for 1st appearances in comics. Stan Lee popping up for some quick screen time in a Spider-man or Avengers movie is a cameo. For comics, labels on slabs should use "First Appearance," "First Full Appearance," and/or "First Cover." And if the X-Men show up in a Fantastic Four comic, the label should say "X-Men Appearance" or "X-Men Crossover." Also known as: Keep It Simple, Stupid - the KISS method. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Finley2020 I don't think a "mention" of a "mystery person" classifies as a "cameo" within comics, because you can't see any figure. I would think some image of the being would be the minimum. Doomsday cameo for example. In many books we see his fist breaking out of some sort of containment. IMO - these are Cameos. But I also am one to believe that the containment object that held Doomsday is also shown in "Panic in the sky" story where Brainiac (?) releases a "doomsdsy" device....on the last page. Is that the true original cameo of Doomsday? This can be an interesting topic, huh? |

| Along with the definition of "cameo" can we look up the definition of "first"? | ||

| You guys are complaining about the use of the word cameo not strictly fitting the dictionary definition? Yet you don't even offer up a better word to use for the situation? SMH | ||

| I think a full picture or half picture where it says the name of said character should be considered the first appearance. | ||

| Mystique has one of the weakest cameos of any character I know of. In Ms. Marvel 16 we only see a person looking through binoculars--that's all we get. Then in issue 17 we see a person disguised as Nick Fury. Finally in issue 18 we see her in one panel while she is in blue form. One panel! Yet it's considered her full appearance.  |
