Which of these comics is the king of the Copper age?

[joe_collector]

Come on, only 3 choices? And done in backwards-alpha to make sure TMNT is listed first?

 

Certainly not a lot Sherlock Holmes-level intellects around here.

It is a poll created directly from a thread in CG disputing which of these three keys is the king of the copper age.

 

You are looking way too much into it here. If you think another book genuinely should be on the list, say so and don't vote.

This thread is awesome.

I voted for Spidey. Is telling which I voted for considered an attempt to sway votes?

Alf 48 with my write in vote

I did too. Over 10k copies graded across all spectrums of grades, over 700 in 9.8 and still pulls $1k++ on a regular basis with no "movie hype", classic cover by a famous artist in a historic run at the top of his game, first full appearance of one of Spidey's best and most popular all time villains, who then became famous in his own right, etc etc etc. That book just has it all.

So it has come to this: we are arguing over who's poll is bigger.

 

Why do people even bother with these stupid polls?

 

It's obvious from the construction of this one, that it's just a TMNT fanboy looking to create a self-fulfilling prophecy so his weak ego can brag about his favorite book winning the race. Yeaaah!

Wow, that statement really makes sense. Why not follow your own advice and if you don't agree with me, don't reply.

Wow, you're right. How silly of me! :doh:

 

Have a nice day!

Hey, you just broke your own "if you don't like it, don't participate" rule yet again.

How would we distinguish the people that didn't vote because they didn't want to and that didn't vote because they didn't know?

If a tree falls...

[TXReplicant]

After I filter out the Marvel Drek, I'm only left with one option!

 

 

[porcupine48]

There could only be one.

Here I am!

[Noodlez]

We're talking 'King' in terms of most popular comic over all, right?

 

Not most popular franchise in toys or movies?

 

Not most expensive?

 

Not most rare?

 

Most popular, right?

 

 

Well put and we'll said...

 

Longevity vs Popularity

 

Hmmm.

[ComicConnoisseur]

Let it begin. No one knows where it will end, one month to decide and all will be revealed!

 

Has beaten TMNT easily at the box office.

Sells more toys than TMNT.

Also came out before the Transformers cartoon show with Marvel being credited with creating most of Transformer`s iconic characters like G.I.JOE.

 

Transformers #1 started a billion dollar industry!

 

 

 

 

[Ryan.]

You sure it sells more toys than TMNT?

[Broke as a Joke]

Worldwide for sure.

I am going to challenge the toys portion as well. Do you have any data to back up the claim?

 

TMNT comic hit shelves in May '84 and Transformers cartoon aired the same year in September '84. However, Transformers was an evolution/inspired by/of a Japanese program, so you could argue that the concept was older. The original TMNT cartoon didn't air until December '87 I believe, which would make Transformers available in mass media first, but not first to market. Which probably doesn't matter at all, but I find interesting. :shrug:
