Stan Lee's 1st appearance in a comic book? 0

[jmulli]

Hi, does anyone know what issue is Stan Lee's 1st ever appearance in a comic book?

I have heard that it is in "Astonishing #4, 1951". 

Does anyone have any info on this? Very much appreciated.

Googled it, think it might be fantastic four #10.

Fantastic Four #10 was issued in 1963. That was his 1st appearance in a Marvel comic. Thanks!

Figured someone would know, since 1st appearances seem to be worth the most money of any character, including Stan the Man.

I found this article by googling around looking for info at CBR.com.  Entitled "Comic Book Easter Eggs" that says the Astonishing #4 1951 was his first appearance in a comic book. 

Just wondering if he has appeared in an earlier comic or is CBR.com right?

Is Astonishing #4 his official 1st appearance in a comic or has he appeared in an earlier comic? That is the question?

In forty five years of collecting, it's never come up.  Not sure there is much demand for it. Interesting question though.
