Bronze age comics that are heating up on eBay...

CM #33 isn't Thanos' first cover appearance...nor is it even his first "impressive" cover appearance.

 

That honor goes to #28.

 

How cool is that?

 

Close and this book is sought after for that reason and one other combined.

 

 

I think he was going for the first "impressive" appearence. The #28 seems more impressive than the "stay off my lawn" window appearance

 

Ha, nice. Yes, but the topic is question was first cover appearance. We can argue that we like Spider-Man #1 as the best cover but that doesn't make it more valuable than pretty much an ASM from the original run.

I'm pretty sure the last 25 posts or so have been arguing what *type* of cover appearance is *more important*...ASM #315 has Venom's head (which, by the way, TOTALLY ruined #316's jive...could have been, and should have been, a nice, slam-dunk, no question first cover...but nooooo!)

And, the "disembodied head" thing that was all the rage from the 60's to the 80's, versus the "full body shot" cover. CM #26 is just a shadow window appearance. #28 has him dominating the cover, whether it's silhouette or not. I doubt anyone would make the claim that #33 is "more impressive" than #28, but I'm always surprised....

And Gamora's appearance in ST #180 is a cameo. So take THAT, alla youse!

Which, of course, leads us back to the conclusion that the whole assignment of value to the "1st Appearance" concept (cover or otherwise) is silly . . .

Now get off my damn lawn!

 

And here I thought I was reading correctly when I came into the "heating up" thread.

Here's a few BA books with good sales:

Captain America 106

Weird War Tales 3

Shazam 3

 

And Gamora's appearance in ST #180 is a cameo. So take THAT, alla youse!

THANK YOU! It clearly is. People who have read it realize that. People who have only read the CGC label and Overstreet do not

Someone's going to be disappointed if they're expecting to recieve a Very Fine copy. Is that what you call interior foxing? What is that?

I noticed that as well.

Funny thing is that there was a BIN for $165 +shipping.

Yeah, 26 has him in a window. 28 has the silhouetted head in the background thing going on. 32 has that as well. 33 is the first time you see him in full and in color.

 

(See how silly this is)

Come on, 28 and 32 are not comparable.

He even looked like more of a blatant Darkseid knock-off back in the early days.

33 is my favorite cover in the run,

I don't know about more impressive, but I've always preferred the cover to 33, it was one of my favorite covers as a kid.

33 is my favorite cover in the run,

The thing that has always bothered me about the cover is this - how the heck is he going to hit CM from that position?

I've always loved the cover to #33. It's a dynamic battle cover that grabbed my attention when I was a youngster as well. Actually, it was the first Captain Marvel back issue I ever bought, mostly due to that exceedingly "impressive" cover.

I can see where a case can be made for #28 though. It's an extremely dramatic cover with a little more storytelling going on, and it features Thanos looming in the background, making what would eventually become his go-to Marvel movie expression. And shouldn't that signature grin earn the cover bonus points? It's kind of like the first time The Rock raised his eyebrow or Miley stuck her tongue out.
