Help me understand IH 181...

[HarveySwick]

I'll attempt to address the OP's question:

 

Generally, cameo (single panel) appearances don't get the same level of attention (or desirability) as the "first full appearance." IH181 / 180 is a great example. X-Factor 5&6 come to mind with the same issue (apocalypse appears in the last panel of 5), as well as Fantastic Four 48&49 (Galactus in the last panel of 48).

 

It really comes down to the market and collecting community. In this case, the market (collectors) has decided that IH181 is THE book for Wolverines first appearance (qualified by the word "full").

 

My recommendation..... Buy both

And don't forget.... ASM #298 vs. ASM #299 vs. ASM #300

What about GobbledyGook #1? Don't some consider that the first appearance of TMNT because of the advert in the back?

[Doc McCoy]

I don't get all the confusion. What is there to understand? It's right there on the cover: Hulk vs Wolverine, winner gets Wendigo.
