Ducky13 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Updated to reflect the great suggestions (another blatant miss on my part: Superman's Girlfriend #70) Looking of 5 more initial numbers 72, 74, 82, 88 and 91. Also looking for additional input for other numbers which could have other significant factors (like 13, is Groot really the most significant #13?)

southern cross Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) 82 Marvel Mystery Comics. 1st appearance of Namora 91 Tales To Astonish 1st cover appearance of Abomination (if another more important book can't be found) Though already a important book for 22 already used. 22 Crimesuspense stories (classic cover) 7 Daredevil 1st red costume, ist billy club grappling hook. (personally I think this is the second most important book of Daredevil's run) Edited August 5, 2023 by southern cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 As a Brit, I've been trying to find the issue number of Viz Comic featuring the classic first battle between the Brown Bottle and his nemesis, Cider Woman. Sure it's an issue before 100, but pinning it down has proved to be an extremely difficult task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantodude Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) How about an honorary "nn" entry to head the list, to add some historical spice. The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbook (London, 1841: Tilt & Bogues), which arguably started the Victorian Age as the earliest known English-language sequential comic book? Perhaps the only way this book could appear ahead of Action Comics #1 on a "significance" list among this crowd! Of course, it's the first "nn" issue ever, among a slew of other firsts.

Those classic Obadiah Oldbuck threads alone should meet the price of admission on the OP's list! Seriously though, if "nn" is added, I can't think of a more significant book for this list.

Would come across as modern with its very dark themes! Pantodude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um yeah, it is absolutely more significant. Just like 1st jsa is more significant than x23.
