Just wondering if anyone has a list of every key issue form the golden age to the current age and would be able to share it or link me to a site where I can find it because its just taking way to long to make one myself.

 

Thanks in advance

Here's a Marvel list that someone on here made, I think DC has a couple keys, maybe 3, not sure.

 

(snip)

 

Well, I don't think a list of Marvels containing a bunch of keys, some notable issues, tons of (Iceman appearance???) and omitting an immense pile of books that should be on the list is quite what he was looking for when he started this thread.

Like I said on the onset, not my list and it's Marvel only. It's a good start for him

I am not trying to get rich selling books all I was looking for is a full list of all key issues and everyone freaks out.

The inherent issue with your question Grayzr is highlighted by the list above and Lazyboy's response... There isn't really a definitive list of Keys. And possibly the definition of a key...

 

I'd be really interested in reading how people define "key".

A book with a character intro/death

A book or multiple books with a significant story arc or cover that has become iconic

For a book to be a key, to me, it has to stand well above the surrounding issues pricewise and feature something that is still relevant today. First Punisher-key. First Kangaroo- non key.

That's not anyone's definition but mine.

Key: A book that is worth significantly more than the issues immediately before and/or after it.

That's a useless definition because it will make some random Spider-Man appearance in a third tier title a key. Value can't make keys, but keys can make value.
