I can remember going to Fat Jacks comics here in Philly the day ASM #252 dropped but it sold out.That same day I did pick up Marvel Team up #141 and was knocked out with the new costume..Loving Spidey, I hunted all over for a #252 and finally found one at my local 7-11 one or two weeks later..It’s absolutely one of my favorite comic book memories as a kid. So ASM#252 and MTU#141 dropped the same day.At least here in Philly when
Welcome to the club! Yes, I don't remember if those comics came out the same day but I was reading, ASM, Spectacular and MTU at the time so I did get all 3 of those issues.
I missed the Peter Parker issue. Missed ASM 252 also. Got the latter for $40 a decade ago. They were all sold out at my drug store that month. But I got MTU 141! My first black costume ASM was 253.
I seem to remember buying #141 AMS #252 and PPTSSM #91 around the same time. In fact, I remember getting to the corner store in the early hours the day the mags were delivered to make sure I got my Team Up book and being pleasantly surprised that there was one of the other two books there. Needless to say I bought all three books pretty close together off a spinner rack.
ART ADAMS COVER! MIGNOLA INKS! There is a Black suit "in continuity" before ASM 252. Actual panels from ASM 252 of the black suit(in continuity) a month before the release. Also, first Transformers "in continuity".
The one Lobo book that excites me most is not mentioned in the vid: Brave and the Bold #4 (issue after their first mtg). They are both on the cover (Lobo clinging to SuperGirl on a golden Harley in space with a planet exploding behind them), both of their title logos are clearly emblazoned on the cover, and - George Perez art (including interiors). Add in the classic Perez team-up w/Mark Waid's story, and you got a banger!
I picked up a copy of FF 280 at my comic shop like 2 weeks ago for 3 bucks, haven’t gotten to read it yet since I found 258-270 all in one bin. Really wish I had that luck with old Spider-Man books. Still pretty cool to see something new I recently got make it on the list
All three black suit covers were very wanted by readers at the time. Spidey was so all summer. There was rarely a terrible Spider-Man or FF at the time.
I remember picking up ASM252 and MTU141 simultaneously, But PPTSSM90 was a pickup on my following visit. This was at Emerald City Comics in Eugene, Oregon. Just so you know, I didn't pick up my books every week. I still have the books. i remember clearly trying to sketch the new black suit in my own drawing notepad and using both of those books as references for the suit
ASM 252 was first. I bought it from the local comic / hobby store the day it came out. It was sold out when I went back 2 weeks later to get the Spec. Spidey 90 and MTU 141.
Thanks Tom and Ryan - fun video, great list; appreciate you guys as always. It’s very interesting to note how podcast interviews, UA-cam, and Gram posts have an influence on the marketplace. Thanks again.
I've loved FF#280 for years - but chiefly because of that great Will Eisner inspired John Byrne cover. The great Malice cover though is FF#369. Sooooo 90's!
In the pre-internet age I knew about the rumor Spider-Man was getting a new suit. I went to my drug store newsstand every week to buy new comics. I bought ASM 252 because I saw the black suit. Had I seen the black suit that same week (or earlier) I would have bought the other SM books. I do not own the other books, so in Philly ASM hit the stands first.
I was 11 yrs old in 1992. My bus driver introduced me to Lobo who i was unfamiliar with. my parents had to sign off on allowing me to have Lobo's Back on my pull list at the LCS 😂 brings me back... going to have to dig out my copies and give it another read. Issue 2 is especially vulgar in all the right ways
I'm surprised Malice's first cover appearance isn't on this list (FF#281). Though her second appearance, a much better cover!!! I've been collecting as much Mark Spears as I can get my grubby hands on!!! Glad to see WWI Ghost Rider getting some love!!! Great list!!!
I still don't understand the demographic that loved liefeld/cable/deadpool/domino in the new mutants. That wasn't the New Mutants that the original fans of issue #1 and the beautiful art of Bill Sienkiewicz enjoyed.
Does anyone else hate when Marvel retroactively creates multiple versions of their characters from times past!? It's so unoriginal! The House of Ideas hasn't had an original idea in decades!

I brought that Marvel Team up when it first came out.....yes i am old
Me, too!
I had been 10 years into collecting when I brought that at the drug store on day of release. So glad I got back into collecting 3 years ago

My first black costume ASM was 253.
One of the first black suit appearances was also transformers number 3! Also a very underappreciated book
So true. That Spidey bump that many books recieved within the first few issues.

I saw the black suit on Marvel Team Up before ASM when it came out. Of course that was at our local variety store that never put things out on time.
And you can thank John Byrne for the FF being the number one book out there. Let’s give credit where credit is due guys!!

Eight billion genies sounds like a 🔥 read! Love the content!
Glad you mentioned the clear Spears/Gogos connection!

That Malice story by JB is really good. Hope people actually read it.
Byrne FF at that time was selling a TON of copies per month. If it really gets hot thousands are going to show up and slam the price down. Be careful.
Fantastic Four 280?!? First appearance of Malice. I didn’t see that one coming! Could this be the Uncanny 130 for 2025?
Thanks Tom and Ryan - fun video, great list; appreciate you guys as always. It’s very interesting to note how podcast interviews, UA-cam, and Gram posts have an influence on the marketplace. Thanks again.
A video game skin pushing a book is super meta. We had a good run but it’s over yall
got The Seasons ashcan from mill geek, such a fun read, love how it was laid out, some great energy, can't wait to see where this series goes.
I've loved FF#280 for years - but chiefly because of that great Will Eisner inspired John Byrne cover. The great Malice cover though is FF#369. Sooooo 90's!
Almost snagged that Mark Spears cover, hoping it drops a little, if not still snagging it.

Pretty much anything Lobo has been bananas lately if you look at recent sales!
I was 11 yrs old in 1992. My bus driver introduced me to Lobo who i was unfamiliar with. my parents had to sign off on allowing me to have Lobo's Back on my pull list at the LCS 😂 brings me back... going to have to dig out my copies and give it another read.

MTU#141: It's an Arthur Adams cover! Mignola inked.
Nice video Tom!😊
I believe that Art Adams was the cover artist, and Mignola was the inker to that beautiful Marvel Team-Up # 141.
Love some Santa Fung! Great artist
I'm surprised Malice's first cover appearance isn't on this list (FF#281). Though her second appearance, a much better cover!!! I've been collecting as much Mark Spears as I can get my grubby hands on!!! Glad to see WWI Ghost Rider getting some love!!! Great list!!!
Loving the Artic Monkey's T-shirt Mate, Tom's got British Swaggg G.
Can you guys do a show on Tuesday on new releases for that week? I never know what is coming out. Thx 👍
Spears Frankenstein cover here looks like Guy Gardner from the Superman trailer
Wow, Barends is a serious artist.
Sick shirt Russ!
Per Wikipedia:" Basil Gogos was born to a Greek family living in Egypt" Anyway the man was a master. Love the props to him!
I was collecting and yes technically 141 was out at the same time as 252
FF 280 is the first appearance but if you want Malice on your wall. FF 369 is the book you want
Ohh Ya Tom I agree Black Science is one of the best series I've ever read. If anyone out there hasn't read it check it out! Fantastic Story.
Great show
Stop sleeping on mtu 141
Green Lantern #55 1:25 ratio is the Lobo book to own IMO
Russ. Kool shirt
I am surprised fantastic four 369 that has to cover appearance of malice
Colorforms magic.
@comic con I want a top 10 spiderman list !!! Let’s do it Spiderman comics is all that matters goat
Both 2 copies of Fantastic Four #280 on ebay for low price
Nice picks
I still don't understand the demographic that loved liefeld/cable/deadpool/domino in the new mutants. That wasn't the New Mutants that the original fans of issue #1 and the beautiful art of Bill Sienkiewicz enjoyed.
I wonder what books are gonna spike because of the upcoming Wolverine game?
Tom's always trying to manipulate the market...😅
Lobo!
0% 😢

I remember seeing Team-up 141 a week before 252, and it was only because 252 hadn't come out yet.
Team-up 141 came out about a week before 141.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm confused I guess and it has been a while since I've read it. Isn't issue 8 of Secret Wars the TRUE first appearance of symbiote suit Spidey?
Actually no, Secret Wars 8 came out in December...seven months after Team-up 141
Great List!!!! That Spears Homage is Awesome 👌
