UPDATED MARVEL BRONZE FIRST APP. 1970 to 1980

[Ronnylama]

After hearing thoughts on my previous journal I have opted to put the list on one or two pages.

 

I am trying to keep minor first appearances out. Characters that died in same issue or so (unless an important act in the Marvel Universe. Boyfriends, girlfriends, neighbors and the like will not be on the set.

If there is a question mark next to the book (or any others I put up PLEASE give feedback.

I would like this to be a communal set before I submit to Nicole.

Grizzly?

Rocket Racer?

 

Mr. AGGIEZ,

 

You forgot Schemer and Mindworm

[GeeksAreMyPeeps]

This is Marvel Universe only, or any Marvel publication? (asking because Conan is on there.)

 

If the latter (and depending on if you're going to the end of '80 for Bronze), Marvel Premiere #57 is the first American appearance of the Doctor (Doctor Who)

[Ronnylama]

aha....I like that

[Lonzilla]

ASM 129 - Jackal (with Punisher it's a two-for)

ASM 149- Spider-Man clone (Ben Reilly)

CREATURES ON THE LOOSE 10 - Kull

X-MEN 101 - Phoenix

[AGGIEZ]

A BUNCH of no-name characters on that list.

 

Grizzly?

Rocket Racer?

 

Mr. AGGIEZ,

 

You forgot Schemer and Mindworm

 

 

Ms. Catwomancomics, I forgot Karkus and Brutalus too...

[ft88]

Alpha Flight first app is 120. Anyone wanna fight about it?

[ft88]

Luke Cage 17 first Powerman 17 and 25 first Black Goliath

[ft88]

Spiderman 149 - 1st Clone (or 148 or 144 if Clone Stacy is your bag)

134 1st Tarantula

[ygogolak]

PERFECT, thanks!

[Ronnylama]

it is, but I believe 121 is the one recognized (full appearances are the ones generally). I will double check and I have read the series

[ft88]

Star Wars 1

other movie comics?

[Ronnylama]

I thought about avoiding Movie books and I am contemplating if Conan should be in. He is not like Kazar or Shanna where they meet other Marvel characters.

Waiting for more thoughts from others to get The Perfect Bronze First Set

[ft88]

Godzilla 1

Night Nurse 1

 

Though there is some random Japanese comic that boasts his first.

[Ronnylama]

Night Nurse...funny. I have that #1 for the Marvel Bronze Firsts...does not seem applicable

Godzilla, on the other hand, I will look into

[ygogolak]

Night Nurse #1is the first in the series, but it's not the first appearance of Linda Carter.

[vaillant]

Here I am!

 

First comments:

 

– ASM #83: it‘s Schemer, not Shemer;

 

– ASM #124: it’s Man-Wolf, not Manwolf;

 

– Amazing Adventures #11: maybe "furry Beast" is more appropriate, as it’s always Hank McCoy.

 

– Nighthawk’s fist appearance should be in Avengers #69 (in the last panel), if one wants to consider a full appearance is probably #70 but not #71 (story is in three parts);

 

– Avengers #88: It’s Psyklop (created by Harlan Ellison), not Psylocke, and probably a minor villain according to your criteria; see here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyklop

 

– Avengers #181: It’s the first appearance of Scott Lang; he becomes Ant-Man 2 in Marvel Premiere #47 (1979);

 

– it’s Arnim Zola, not Arnim Zolg, and should be Captain America #208;

 

– Defenders #21: it’s the Headmen (plural), not Headman;

 

– Dead of Night #11: should be The Scarecrow (2), he later identified himself as Straw Man in the 1990s Dr. Strange run by Roy Thomas not to be confused with the villain – he also did not speak in its original appearance, while Thomas made him speak a bit;

 

– Fantastic Four #208: Champions of Xandar (not "Zandar"): not sure as they should qualify, they were assembled to protect the Andromeda galaxy in the story arc concluding also the Nova epic, and most are dead; the storyline is important, but not sure about having the entry as a group;

 

All for now… more later! (thumbs u

[ft88]

Defenders 15 (or 17?) has first appearance of the wrecking crew. I think its the first of some of them but not all.

[akaSteveRogers]

Defenders 15 (or 17?) has first appearance of the wrecking crew. I think its the first of some of them but not all.

 

#17 1st brief appearance.

#18 1st full appearance.
