Hey Greg, i have some good news for you buddy. Will be in touch soon

I don't think prototype is the right word. Venom may not have been a finished idea at that point in time, but I think Venom is the evolution of that character and not just a similar character.

Agreed, it isn't like this is a giant robot Dr. Doom or anything.

Web of Spiderman 18 is the first appearance (behind the scenes

 

I disagree, and that is what we're debating here.

 

Gotcha.

At most you can only say these are cameos and that's stretching it abit to get that far. To me a first appearance has to be a full shot of the character not just a shadow or a body part. Again, as part of the story its interesting, but if I'm buying a book that said "1st appearance of" and all it had was a nondescripted arm I'd be PO'd!

Well what would you call it then? It's clearly NOT a Venom appearance, i.e. Eddie Brock in the Symbiote costume, as that character was not developed until much later, so "prototype Venom" is probably as close as you're going to get.

Doesn't Overstreet recognize a Powerman/Iron Fist issue as being the third appearence of Sabretooth,even though he appears in one panel,in disguise,incognito and has nothing to do with the story?

Is this that different?

Full disclosure- I have two cases of Spidey 300,and zero copies of either of these books,unless they are in an old show box that I haven't gone thru.So I have no reason to push these copies.

[Fauby]

That is Venom's first appearance!? I can see why it is not in high demand.

They are sealed cases,so use your imagination.

You must have it scattered in your living room somewhere.

I'm sure that I do. If I knew what the cover looked like I'd know if I have it.

(I was also looking through the Book of the Dead issues and was at how many are (not) still dead. But that really has nothing to do with this topic.)

 

Where's JC when you need him?

[spidrvacc]

Jeez I remember this post. I read somewhere recently , they were talking about venom and stated his first app was Web 18 so I guess it is more accepted now a year later?
