"for a while" .. yes, i was there, teen titans was the only DC comic I read in the early 80s (i bought ronin too, of course), perez had a great run, it was just a few years though and I'd have to dig for actual sales numbers... by 1985 teen titans had dropped quite a bit (I saw some sales numbers printed somewhere that had it in line with many other DC titles), x-men kept chugging along... Lobo was pretty big for a while too (not comparing NTT to Lobo, of course), Azrael was pretty big... Alpha Flight sold a TON of comics.. while Byrne was working on it at least. 

Yes my brother and I got the X-men, TT, and Avengers in the mid 80s and then picked up Alpha Flight which the first 20+ issues were fantastic. What a time to be a comic book reader. 

Until Old Man Logan several years back, Terra's betrayal was the biggest shock to my brother and I for many years of collecting.

I know Gobbledygook is ridiculously rare, but it always seemed like a cop-out to have the "first appearance" of TMNT in an ad. Needless to say, I feel it is overvalued (at least for that "reason"), but nice to have. The fact that I think it is nice to have coupled with it being ridiculously rare, mean prices will never go down.

DC Comics Presents #26 is a fun one because they call it a "Preview" on the cover, but it's an original story in a comic book that is a 1st appearance of those characters.

The word "Preview" on the cover is in reference to the new title/series being started.  It is a preview of a new title, which has not yet started... while being the full first appearance of the characters that will star in that title.

I subscribe to this. 

Subscribe to what? It is very rare for characters who are getting their own title to debut in a separate, full story in another title immediately before that. Usually, they will appear in another character's story or just debut in the first issue of their own title.
