Cyclops Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Why do you consider it an appearance? You don't need to be in the narrative to appear. It's funny how people view appearances like these. Most of you guys seem to see it as insignificant. I see the opposite. It's an appearance the goes under the radar until it's uncovered by an enthusiastic collector. I understand most collectors want the flashy cover done by the hot artist and that's all well and good but one of the reasons I collect Harley appearances ( and early Deadpool appearances ) is because they are hard to find. Even BA 12 was unknown to collectors for some time despite the fact that she's on the cover. This particular issue is similar to Batman and Robin Adventures 1 where Harley appears on a poster on the cover. Both issues are early appearances that I would want to own. Fair enough. You should collect how and what you want to. My personal opinion is that 'appearances' are within the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all academic since if you want her actual first appearance you will need to download a gif from the cartoon and store it on your computer. -J.

I think it's quite well established at this point that it is not a turtles appearance. It has an ad for turtles 1. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy3PO Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well they're awesome, nicely done! I'm currently in China for work, and have been trying my hardest to find any comics at all. No such luck, everyone knows who Superman and Spider-Man are, but as soon as I say comic, they get all But then the city I'm in apparently doesn't even have any bookstores, so I guess that may be why.

I don't know if China ever published any DC or Marvel. Japan did I have some rare Spiderman, Superman, and ironically enough Captain America...
