I think that's the first time he had his own book. First appearance was the magazine Savage Tales 1. When that book was cancelled they had a Man-Thing short story ready to go so it was stuck in with Ka-Zar. I love LOVE LOVE the old Man-Thing books.

I know you guys are interested in the comics rather than the magazines, but the 1st Man-Thing appearance in Savage Tales #1, a Marvel Conan mag, has an interesting backstory. At a comic con in Louisville KY a few years ago, I met the guy who runs comicspriceguide.com right after he bought a raw copy; as usual, I was on a barbarian book quest, and he pointed out the uniqueness of the issue to me.

Here's a copy currently on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savage-Tales-1- ... SwZ1lWhCpm
If the phrase "tomorrow's violent voluptuaries" wasn't written by Stan Lee directly, I'll eat my hat.

Savage Tales #1 (May 1971): First Non-Code Compliant Conan Barbarian Publication

...Savage Tales #1 is the first appearance of Conan in a Marvel black-and-white magazine. It took place without full co-operation from Marvel honcho Martin Goodman. He'd never wanted to publish a non-Code magazine, but had been convinced to by Stan Lee and Roy Thomas.

Goodman feared recriminations from the Comics Code Authority, even though magazines weren't subject to the code. He'd helmed Marvel when it was still Atlas, in the dark years after Seduction of the Innocent was published, and he was unconvinced that the changing times would save him if the Code got on Marvel's case.

So Goodman, by now at loggerheads with Lee over most editorial decisions, looked for any reason to cancel Savage Tales, and did so after the first issue, citing poor sales. The series wouldn't return until after Goodman's departure and the transition to Lee as top man a few years later.

Nonetheless, the sole issue of Savage Tales' first run featured a fine Conan story by Thomas and Smith, a Ka-Zar story, the first appearance of Stan Lee's ill-fated Femizons, and the origin and first appearance of the Man-Thing.

All this, wrapped in a mind-blowing John Buscema painted cover, makes this one-off a very valuable magazine/comic book indeed.

Record sale: $1,500
Minimum value (poor but complete): $10

And here's an article that addresses the old, muddy question of "Which Came First: The Swamp Thing or The Man Thing?" The author mentions that Tales #12 was the 1st color comic MT. http://comiccoverage.typepad.com/comic_ ... -firs.html

Amazing Spiderman #162 first appearance of Jigsaw with the Punisher getting his own Netflix show obviously he will play a major part in the show, his 1st appearance is relatively low key Right now..

You should always ask dealers if you can hold their Giant Size Man-Thing.

That's a great Bring On The Bad Guys book! It's really one of the only truly recognizable Punisher villains...
Except that the Marvel Wiki has the 1st app listed as #161

That's great that the Wiki says that but it's not considered the first appearance to the collecting community

Wow!

[Elveen]

X-23 could , maybe, has the possibility, to approach Harley status.

The BIG difference I see is that overall, Harley has tons of female fans and X-23 has some. That could change, but right now Harley is prob 50/50 female to male fans. Also a lot of X-23's initial push has come from spec about her possibly being in the Wolvie movie / taking over for Wolvie once Hugh Jack is done. Harley's popularity comes from the Batman Adv cartoon. So X-23 is a maybe and Harley is an already happened.

But no doubt X-23 is quickly climbing the rankings of popular / peeps buying their books at a shows.

That nyx 3 is a massive book. I could sell it for a massive premium at a show.

If you are interested in trading it or possibly consigning it , I would be interested.
