What comics took the most number of years to become MAJOR key issues?

It wasn't until the Gerber Photo Journals came out that anyone knew how cool the cover to Suspense 3 was. Now it is one of the upper echelon books.

If only someone else had thought of that already!

i think we still didn't have these 2:

 

detective comics 400 - 1st MAN-BAT

savage tales 1 - 1st MAN-THING

 

let`s not forget Swamp Thing

House of Secrets 92.

my memory is a little fuzzy on that one, but I recall that being more of a case of the value jumping after a long hiatus, rather than it suddenly becoming a key because of new info or new-found popularity. So we can't really count that IMO, that's no different than the way every single SA book spiked circa 1988 after 20-25 years of dormancy

I believe Iron Man 170 will be key when the next movie comes out. So far it's still not key even on the cover Rhodes is becoming Iron Man for the first time.
