What's New In Your Copper Age Collection This Week? 13 13

[MattrixAlien]

This book is surprisingly cheap considering it's the first appearance of a known, likeable supporting character in Marvel comics. Particularly these days when we see books with 1st apps of obscure characters blow up in price. I've watched comic book YouTuber's talking about buying books based on "deep spec", predicting a character might appear in an MCU film. The X-men are definitely coming and cute animal companions are obligatory in Disney productions  But I bought this book because I loved Excalibur as a kid and it features an affordable first appearance of one of it's founding members, and fills a gap in my Uncanny X-men run. Uncanny X-men 166...

...the first appearance of Kitty's companion Lockheed the dragon! I enjoyed reading it too. The page above features his very first panel appearance

Thanks for that. I had a couple of board members jump on me for posting a 1983 X-men in the Bronze X-men thread recently... So I posted this one here. It's really a controversial limbo period. I might borrow this screen shot and repost it over in that forum

 It's impolite to point out CGC's stupidity on their own message boards.

CGC is stupid and wrong. Regardless, that explicitly states it's for their Registry, making it even more irrelevant.

I was there for that, it's worth noting that the glossary as recently as 2 months ago separated the ages with decades....

Just an fyi, so you dont come off as arrogant without knowing if you do post the screenshot, and I agree you should. It'S silly to quibble over a couple of years difference. I agree that some might be more passionate but try not to take it too seriously.

I understand that it seems obtrusive and it is, but try not to take it personal

Lord willing someday big picture things will be more tolerable.

To be safe I might post any thing about early 80s books in the general forum in future

 I feel you, I'd be in the same boat, but I might try other forums and ignore the rigmarole, I agree it take the fun out of just posting books.

Then on top of the glossary, way back yonder in time when I joined, there used to be a thread in each of the "age forums" with at least an outline of years or a description of what the separate forums consisted of  

 so for those who have been here longer, who should be more patient, but doesn't always happen

Interesting! Kitty tells a fairy tale in Uncanny X-men 153 about a dragon called Lockheed which is portrayed in that issue. Then when she meets a dragon like creature in 'real life' so to speak in 166 she names him after this fictional character and goes on to be her companion and ongoing X-men & Excalibur character.

No that would be an ad, could be desirable but dont go wild with it

I graded invincible #43 for the same reason, but no it's not canon, cause it's not apart of the story, same with cable. Neat and for certain characters of importance in older ancient issues may be considered popular but not an "appearance" per se.

No harm no foul in my book, yet it is I suppose correct publishing terms, I'm not as familiar with the tattooz, that can be its own hassle.

Less grumpy we are about it, the less it'll irritate, seems everyone has their own idea; although there would be traditional views. Nothing wrong with wanting more out of something, simply my view point
