Does that thin cover stock Marvel used during that time play nicely with pressing?

Black Widow #1?

Superboy #0

Detective #575 is due to the Phantasm hype...I think.

That MILLIE!!!!!! 

Wow, this thread has triggered some memories.

In the 80's, my allowance was $2 in food stamps a week. Comics were .60 cents. There was a lot of hemming and hawing on what penny candies to buy so I can get the change to purchase a comic. It was usually a pack of Now and Later's since they were .15 cents.

I lived in a few households growing up. My mother encouraged the comic books but when I lived with my Grandfather, he thought they were trash and insisted that I read authors like Jack London and Mark Twain. The classics. I remember buying newspapers to hid my comics in. I did this with ASM #252.

I appreciated both approaches.

As the cover specifically states "He's Back", it seems to suggest it's not his first appearance.

He's prominently featured in Machine Man (LS) #3 and #4 before that. That Spider-man Annual, if the cover says anything, features a newer armor. 

Cover to Machine Man 2020 #2 (reprints MM LS #3 and #4). Love it.

Great book, I would want them all!!!

Has the  IM 2020 showed up in any modern book so far or do we have to wait until next year?

Machine Man #2 - 1st Iron Man 2020 - seems to be picking up interest.

 

 

Watch out for Machine Man 2020 #1 as well. This reprints Machine Man #1 and #2 of the limited series. I'm a sucker for reprints but don't know how many copies printed of each. Love that BWS cover

YEah, very weird.  Was he ever popular?

Surprised that Venom got some love on that cover.

Finally, someone responds about the movie.

Been looking for a decent copy of this one for awhile.

First Milk n Cheese?

Next up Spawn #9, the 1st appearance of Angela. What a cool character. Really, they’re both great characters. In the early 90s, I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next in this series. The writing was hit and miss but the villains were great. Violator, Overtkill, Angela, Chapel, and even the hero seemed like a villain...sometimes.

I loved McFarlane’s art. I know he isn’t everyone’s favorite. Still like Neal Adams , Frank Miller, and Art Adams, he really drew both sleek and powerful looking characters. Capullo was great too.

Back to Angela. Had she stayed a Spawn character, her appeal would be more limited. Instead, she moved to Marvel and the sky is the limit. It doesn’t hurt that she now seems to be working in the right side of things. Heaven seemed more like hell in Spawn in actions and deeds. 

I have several NM copies of this book. I’d love to have a CGC 9.8 but I don’t have any of them.

rating

raw NM = 7 out of 10

CGC 9.8 = 7 out of 10

I bought this and a Hot Wheels Spawn Mobile packaged together. Should I separate them?

Might as well put #2 on the list as well. First appearance of Red Robin. I am of the opinion that the first appearance of any costumed/powered character, either hero or villain, connected to either Batman or Spider-man, is worthy of a spec play.

I like Kingdom Come #3 as well since it is the reemergence of Captain Marvel (not Shazam). Was able to sell a few copies of that when the film hit.

I guess it resembles the movie more, but Thor 390 is still the first time. I assume this is one of two things:

1. People making something out of nothing because they want to sell their copies.

2. People buying these because Thor 390 has jumped up considerably.

Either way, in a month these will be a fraction of what they are now.

 

I have both but I do like "Captain America" over "The Captain" picking up Mjolnir, but they both are Steve Rogers.   It's just a matter of preference

OMG. Fear Itself #7 is a hot book?  Gonna add it to the shopping list.

Was the newsstand bagged?

Emily Blunt > Brie Larson in basically every way possible.

Including rear-end.

You know, some of this hate is just downright ridiculous.

Is 684 the first appearance of immortal hulk or an evolution of a previously established character?

Same as Cosmic Ghost rider.

It's 682. 

Went out for breakfast. Booth next to me out of the blue blurted out a spoiler. Which pissed me off. Booth on the other side yells "WTF bro?!?!" Justice was served.
