Since I owned a store in the eighties MC #1 was the Grail. Have to go with that.

 

Yeah, I think this is likely to break down by how long someone has been collecting. When I was 13, MC #1 was the book I dreamed of owning because it was the first Marvel comic and I didn't care for Superman. Cap #1 wasn't a book I dreamed about because I wasn't a Cap fan.

 

So while I understand all the reasons other people would prefer to own a Cap #1, I would take the MC #1. It's not the book itself, but what the book represented when I was 13.

 

I am extremely unlikely to own it unless it continues to fall out of favor though, so I recommend that everyone else should sell it and buy Cap 1s instead. :D

Cap 1 has one of the most beautiful covers of all time, every time I see one in person I am filled with joy so cap 1 all day for me.

 

Really? It has never even given me even the slightest bit of excitement. MC#1 has always had a mystical quality to it ever since I was a kid.

Interesting conversation in the GA section and a chance to vote for your favourite on the first page.

 

Thought I'd share in Comics General:

I noticed the Cap votes took off since you did. I'm also surprised the CG posse didn't come in here asking about the "crack" option.

Cap 1, no doubt. I am a sucker for those Timely war covers.

 

One of the interesting thing about the cover is that it's actually prewar (from the U.S. point of view) by about 10 months.

Batman #1. Hands down. If it were between Cap 1 and Marvel 1 it'd be Bat 1.

 

If I was given a choice between the 3, that'd be my pick as well.

so Bat 1>Cap 1>Marvel 1 for you?

 

(thumbs u

 

Personal choice.

That's a completely different poll between books that are not even apples to apples.

 

But another poll that might be interesting to see the result of now would be an Action 1 or a Tec 27.

Marvel #1 as I love the book

 

 

You had a superb copy. I was quite surprised at how vibrant its cover looked.
