Welcome back everyone. Thank you for stopping by to check out the latest TF. You can also find me here: @comic_book_true_firsts
Secret Wars 2 ( Specifically the Sinister 1:25 )
First Hickman writing Mr. Sinister
Mr Sinister keys are heating up all over the place and for good reason. The director of the next X-Men film has cited Hickman’s interpretation as source material so here ya go.
Power of X 4 ( specifically the Skottie Young cover )
First Hickman writing Mr. Sinister in a X book
OTHER BOOKS TO CONSIDER BEYOND X-MEN 221…
The Adventures of Cyclops ans Phoenix 1-4
Origin of Mr. Sinister
Power of X 4 1:10
The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix 1-4
IG user @chad.crow.121 clued me on these. Issue 1 delves into the origin of the Essex family, an origin that would work really well on film.
Topolino 2870
First Disney appearance of Oswald in a comic
D23 news gives Oswald fans the series they want! I have discussed the character before. Here’s a brief recap.
OTHER BOOKS TO CONSIDER…
Anteprima Disney Epic Mickey Speciale Lucca 2010
This ashcan sized comic is an early Oswald appearance and cover. It’s also a must for Peter David collectors.
Darkwing Duck 16 ( Both covers )
First appearance of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in a US, standard sized comic ( Cameo )
Disney Julehefte Special 2011
Walt Disney Comics and Stories 726 is a valuable book even though it is not the first appearance but it’s really s reprint from this rare foreign appearance.
Walt Disney Comics and Stories 726 ( Cover A )
Though this is a reprint it has a unique feature which should make it and the Norwegian special pretty important. The format for Norwegian comics is different making the final panel and it’s alteration in 726 original to the US comic.
Walt Disney Comics and Stories 726 ( Other Covers )
Kingdom Hearts 1,2
First appearance and first Cloud
More D23 news here! These are undervalued to begin with.
Famitsu PS2 February 2003′
True First
Kingdom Hearts was serialized here for the first time.
Daredevils 6
First appearance of Miracleman in a Marvel comic.
I have written extensively a bout Miracleman over the years. I love the character and have always enjoyed looking for rare books. High grade copies of this are tough to come by. It’s a cameo first and also has appearances by E.T. and Danger Mouse!
Fantasy Advertiser 70
Preview of cover to Warrior Magazine 1 ( Earliest Miracleman appearance )
Predating Warrior 1, the preliminary cover was published here. Not only is it a cool book for MM fans but it is the first time I could find the Guy Fawkes, V for Vendetta image published anywhere.
Warrior 1
First appearance of Miracleman
Remember, Miracleman 1 from Eclipse is a reprint of comics from this UK publication. New stories didn’t start until issue 6.
OTHER BOOKS AND LINKS TO CONSIDER…
Marvelman 25
First appearance of Marvelman
If you want the history on Marvelman/Captain Marvel/Miracleman ya gotta do a search or read past articles from me or check CGC. It’s a heavy read.
X-Men Archives 4
First standard-sized appearance of Miracleman in a Marvel comic.
An undervalued gem of a series, this mini reprints the best of Captain Britain UK comics which just som happen to include some Miracleman keys.
