graffix13 graffix13 The Collectinator Registered: 04/30/11 Posts: 367 Loc: Kansas City, MO	What is considered Namor's first appearance? Wikipedia has it listed as Motion Picture Funnies Weekly (1939) but I don't think I've even ever SEEN that book. Is this correct?

sacentaur sacentaur TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 03/21/06 Posts: 8622 Loc: Riding the Neutrino Pulse	Yes - the story from MPFW was expanded for Marvel Comics #1. MPFW is a very scarce - and expensive - book. _________________________ If you want to go fast, travel alone.

Scrooge Scrooge TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 08/29/03 Posts: 20167 Loc: Midwest	People have debated that issue for years. I am not that interested / vested in it but the MPFW tends to be more vocal about it hence the designation of MPFW as the first appearance. IIRC, the proof comes from slight difference in the art between the two appearances. To answer your question, it's likely correct.

He may even see this thread and post it. I'm in agreement with sacentaur in thinking that the most likely scenario is that Subby was created first for MPFW. _________________________ "You want me to trade you my comic for small rectangular sheets of green paper with the images of dead white men?"

That's not the article I was thinking of, nor did I see it in the list. It's also possible I'm mistaken and the author was someone else. _________________________ "You want me to trade you my comic for small rectangular sheets of green paper with the images of dead white men?"
