Back in 1959 this cover so intrigued me that I bought this comic, right off the spinner rack for a dime. I surely wish I still had it, sigh.

Yeah, I was gonna go with Madame MacEvil, but she wasn't on the cover of that issue of Iron Man, either, it was the Sub-Mariner.

Same w. Zatanna In HAWKMAN #4.

[CaptCleghorn]

Adam Warlock. I count the cocoon as should you all.

[Moon Ronin]

Ok Changed my this is Venom's first cover appearance

[Moon Ronin]

I am suddenly discovering how many characters are not on the cover of their debut issues: Wonder Woman is not on the cover of All-Star Comics #8, Zatanna is not on the cover of Hawkman #4, Red Sonja is not on the cover of Conan the Barbarian 23, Black Canary is not on the cover Flash Comics #86...

I know wanted to use Amazing Spider-Man #300 but then wanted the character to be on the cover.

I hope WPP comes in to clarify. I would think that he meant appearances in somebody else's book. Not in anthology books like Showcase or Tales of.. which were really the heroes own book.

Also as mentioned, what about first cover appearance, but second issue. Like Hulk 181, Conan 24 or FF #49? Should the contest cover be Hulk 180, Conan 23 or FF 48?

As usual, don't overthink this. If you don't like a cover, don't vote for it.

I'm a comic fan, all I do is overthink things But yeah, you are probably right.

Hmm! Didn't think any clarification was needed, though I should've been more specific. Okay, cover appearances in someone else's book, no anthologies or trades, as for "Tales Of" titles, well, there had been debuts there, so those can be accepted. I hope this straightens up matters for everyone.

Is my submission acceptable? Sonja officially appeared in the previous Issue, but her first cover was the next issue the one I posted.
