A fun thread for identifying when the earliest meetings between characters occurred.
For example, the earliest published story in which Spider-Man met Wolverine was in Marvel Team-Up Annual #1 (1976).

My favorite will always be when Spidey met Supes:
A key one was Marvel Mystery Comics #8, when the original Human Torch met the Sub-Mariner. Probably the first time to lead Marvel characters from different strips met.
