Thanks for posting this. As others have said, George's Marvel Comics Indexes were a wealth of information in the pre-internet era. I was making my weekly trip to my LCS in 1976 when I saw the first one, Spider-Man, on the shelf. It was a bit pricey compared to a comic book but after flipping through it I had to buy it. I collected the volumes that followed too. Great work. R.I.P. George

Writer/editor Robert Kanigher addressed the beginnings of Sgt. Rock in a letters column from Our Army At War #168:

I bought Our Army At War #81 a long time ago, thinking I was getting the first Sgt. Rock in "The Rock Of Easy Co.!" It bugged me a little that he was called Sgt. Rocky throughout the story but I figured it was still the first Sgt. Rock. Perhaps the Historical Documents had gotten his name wrong and corrected it later? Anyway, later on when I read "The Rock And The Wall!" in Our Army At War #83 it seemed like the true beginning of a new series of stories of Easy Company and Sgt. Rock. I think Chris Pedrin's analysis of the evolution of Sgt. Rock in his book Big Five Information Guide is spot-on. I've attached scans of representative pages from OAAW #81, #82, and #83:

San Diego Comic Con International Nov 26-28 2021

It’s $75 for active military or age 60+. I guess there aren’t one-day passes yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if they become available, especially if ticket sales are lukewarm. -

SDCC website says proof of vaccination is required or proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of each day of attending the event. Masks required regardless of vaccination status. No vendor or guest list yet and no info about tickets. The Comic-Con Museum is supposed to have its grand opening on Nov. 26. -
Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus
thecollectron replied to Define999's topic in Comics General
I've watched some of the videos now and a few swipes leaped out at me. I shared my thoughts with Duke. There are tons of panels that look familiar to me, particularly a lot of references to Ditko, Romita, and Kane, but I also spotted some borrowing from DC. I heard about these comics several years ago but they weren't turning up very often and now they're expensive . I enjoyed seeing them flipped through page by page. -
Great! Very nice comics, expertly packed and shipped very fast.

Joye Hummel, First Woman to Write Wonder Woman, Dies at 97

I attended her spotlight panel at San Diego Comic-Con. She got a standing ovation, there were a lot of WW cosplayers in the audience, and I think she was genuinely touched by the appreciation she received. -
First SA appearance of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman?
thecollectron replied to kav's topic in Comics General
In the case of the first four, I think Overstreet started giving those designations years ago because the cover dates correspond, more or less, with Showcase #4 (Sep.-Oct. 1956). The only one I agree with is Wonder Woman #98 which is from 1958 but has a new art team and new origin. -

What is the first cover appearance of General Zod?
thecollectron replied to nearmint's topic in Comics General
I think the other villain on the cover is Professor Vakox. -
Or....is he the mutant Man In The Bee Hive from Tales Of Suspense 32? Naaah. Too obscure I suppose.
