| 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.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Foghorn_Sam Yea, Hulk 180 being considered a cameo, is the biggest farce in the hobby. But only because Wolverine is one of the really top tier characters. I am sure there are some lesser collected characters that are slighted more in regards to "first appearance". If I was king of this hobby. A "first appearance" would be the first showing of the characters face or body in costume, where it is later recognizable as that character. For those who don't wear costumes, it would be the recognizable face. Not in shadow or silhouette, or a hand or leg picture. Strange Tales 114 should be the first appearance of Captain America in the silver age. Even though it is the Acrobat dressed as Cap. Yea, I said it! |

| Hulk 180 and Amazing 299 are both examples where it should be the characters first appearance, especially as Venom shows up in several panels AND a full last page in 299. Darkseid's first appearance is another I hear disputed as Forever People #1, and as shown above it's a hard argument to refute when compared to the aforementioned books. What about the most convoluted first appearance: Sgt. Rock? GI Combat #68 is supposedly a prototype, I'll give them that. Our Army at War #81 has a character named Sgt. Rocky of Easy Company - another one I'd accept as some kind of prototype because of that pesky Y. But Our Army At War #82 we get a full appearance by Sgt. Rock and yet #83 is STILL considered the first appearance. This one has always been a headscratcher to me. Hellboy is another character with several attributed first appearances - Next Men #21, San Diego Comic Con #2, and Dime Press #4. Dime Press #4 even has Hellboy on the cover, which seems to be the deciding factor in many of these disputes - CGC even calls Next Men 21 the First Full Color Appearance, while merely stating on Dime Press that it has a 'Hellboy Cover that predates US appearance'. They assign the title of First appearance to SDCC #2. Spawn has the Malibu Sun vs Rust vs Spawn #1 debate. I think a lot of these were decided based on which copies collectors had more of at the time... |

| So now the terminology being used is "first appearance in cameo" and "first full appearance", so a character can have multiple "firsts" and let the hobby decide which is the most definitive and valuable? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Foghorn_Sam The terminology gets very confusing. Hypothetically speaking... If a character debuts as a main character in a certain issue of a comic and then has a one panel appearance in the next issue, the character would have their first cameo appearance occur AFTER their first full appearance. |

Batman 357. Cgc credits it as the first full appearance of Jason Todd. Cbcs credits it a the first appearance, while also noting it is killer crocks first "full" appearance. Below is all you get. One frame and no first name. |

| @X51 please explain your previous comment, what terminology were you referring to? And how does Marvel or DC have to do with what we collectors do and how we communicate? All they do is draw pictures and tell stories, they don't give a rip what we decide to call things. | ||

| I know most dont care much about Green Lanterns but heres my go-to example of CGC being idiots (or just not giving a sht) Green lantern 20(just her fist) * CGC "first appearance Jessica Cruz" * CBCS -nothing-  Justice League 30 (single frame) * CGC (nothing) * CBCS " first appearance Jessica Cruz in cameo"  Justice League 31 (cover appearance, plenty of frames) * CGC (nothing) * CBCS "First full appearance & orgin power ring (Jessica Cruz)"  |

| How about Spider-Man's black/alien costume? ASM #252, Marvel Team-Up #141, and Spectacular Spider-Man #90 are all "tied" as its first appearance. Then 7 months later, its "explained" in Secret Wars #8. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by TimBildhauser I'll have to look at that one...I though technically it was a robot clone in #55. What is considered his "second appearance?" Captain marvel 25 or 26? He makes a cover appearance on 26 and is more than a cameo...this might be technically his first "full" appearance... |

| Thank God! Finally a topic that one could sink his teeth into! I believe this issue should be addressed by Overstreet. And if the definition of first appearance and cameo become clearer, so be it! | ||
