In the latest Drawing Crazy Patterns, where we spotlight five recurring themes in comics, we examine five times that comic book character’s first appearances, while obviously cameos, are still considered their “first appearance” for some reason.When speaking about Hollywood and the knowledge about what movies will become hits and which ones will not, William Goldman famously noted, “Nobody knows anything.” That same thing applies to the world of comic book collecting and the determination of whether something is a “first appearance” or not. There truly is no good rhyme or reason as to why something is deemed a “cameo” versus a “first appearance,” besides the main rule of it all – whatever people decided was “the” answer inevitably becomes THE answer.This, though, leads to the hilarious examples where the collectors “logic” about cameos make absolutely NO sense.
