The splash of AS 3 is the same image as the cover (except there is a fireplace behind the table) so here's the last page when they get back together after the first story -

..... I took this pic for you guys this morning....one of the rarest pre-golden age "1st panels" you could ever hope to see, so important it was the direct inspiration for the concept of Superman being featured in his own comic book --

Detective Dan Secret Operative No. 48 by Humor Publishing Corp., 1933 ( only 6-8 copies estimated to exist )

Sure you won't reconsider selling it to me?

Bill,

I would never sell my Detective Dan...took me years of searching to find this single copy...but I'll tell you what I'll do. For a Detective Dan comparable price , I will consider selling you this :

potentially qualifying as "what could possibly be cooler than this?!", an online search found this image from Scoop!...the OA for the 1st appearance and origin of The Green Lantern !

 

[ciorac]

thanks, but I will pass. Not that it wasn't a fair deal or anything...

In some cases, like with Spectre, you will have the promo head shot that pre-dated his first appearance in More Fun #52.

 

Ad for Detective #27 in Action #12...

Thanks. I always wanted to see that. I remember reading about it a long time ago, however my memory tells me the ad was in Detective 26 or was there a different one?

 

There is also an advertisement for Batman in Detective #26. I don't have an image of it so I'm not sure if it's the same or not.

First comic appearance of ERB's John Carter of Mars from The Funnies #30 (April 1939) by an unknown artist:

Here's the second page where JC arrives on Mars and discovers that the new planet's lesser gravity allows him to leap great distances in a single bound.

 

 

[selegue]

First appearance of a major player in the DC universe, from Rex the Wonder Dog 4.

[CentaurMan]

Wait a minute, where's his cigar and bottle of booze? Don't tell me he's been rebooted.

 

Honestly, that's why this thread is here. Not Batman or the Spectre. It's the Detective Chimps of the world that need more exposure. Now who can show us the first Gay Ghost?

[shiverbones]

haha! I love that detective chimp splash! I must get one....

From Feb. 1947, Funny Stuff #18 Here is the 1st app. of Dodo & the frog. From one small story in the back of this 52 page comic, they went on to take the cover next issue, run for 61 issues of this title, then it switched to 13 issues of their own comic and 33 appearances in the Funny Animal run of Comic Cavalcade. There are also some 1 pager reprint appearances in Its gametime. They were resurrected for 1 appearance in 1985's Funny Stuff stocking stuffer, and supposedly a few issues of Captain Carrot, but I've never seen those.
