FCBD Key Issues

[j_scott_o]

So, I'm sitting here going thru a few of my comics and come across a stack of my 2012 FCBD books. It got me thinking, are there any FCBD key issues? I really have no idea. I couldn'd anything by doing a search, so, thought I might as well ask and see if any of you thought there are some free keys out there.

I wouldn't call it a key, but the Mouse Guard one from this year is really good, and people appear to have actually been paying for it on eBay.

 

Also, there's an alternative/hard to find cover of the Image one from this year, which has some fairly serious interest because of the Revival preview.

The Stuff of Legend FCBD 2009 is a key.

 

This issue pre-dates The Stuff of Legend #1 and is the 1st appearance of the characters. It was not a big sponsor that year so the print run was small. It was just announced Disney is currently in the process of making a movie.

Not sure if I would call it a 'key' issue but the Scott Pilgrim FCBD issue seems to be hard to find - it was snatched up fairly quickly since it was released at the height of the books & movie popularity. Seen it selling for $30-40.

I know the 2006 FCBD Viper Comics Presents which featured Josh Howard's DEAD @ 17, and included exclusive artwork has been considered fairly rare and harder to find.

 

Here's a write up on it when it was released along with a picture of the cover:

Yup. I wish CGC would put that on the slab though.

This is a neat idea for a thread. I would like to see more ideas of key FCBD comics.

I'd add to this list the Unseen Peanuts, it's a collection of strips not available anywhere else.

Whatever came of the ASM FCBD that had Jackpot or whatever in it?

This is it

That was by Dan Slott and Phil Jiminez featuring the 1st appearance of Jackpot, right?

Ok, I have compiled a list of what we have so far. I did not include the HC Mouse Guard 2012 as was mentioned in one of the replies. Anyway, I'm not sure if all of these can be considered keys or not. I can always pull out ones we decide do not belong.

 

FCBD KEY ISSUES:

 

Amazing Spider-Man, The 2007 (1st Appearance of Jackpot)

Scott Pilgrim 2006 (Special 17 page side story set between Vol. 3 & Vol. 4)

Stuff of Legend, The 2009 (1st Appearance of Various Characters)

Umbrella Academy, The 2007 (1st Appearance of Umbrella Academy)

Unseen Peanuts 2007 (Features lost strips from the 50s & 60s)

Viper Comics Presents 2006 (Original Introductory Story to new 'Dead@17' comic book series)

This seems like a pretty small list of key issues. No one else has any more input/suggestions? Anyone know what was considered the 1st FCBD comic? The 1st superhero FCBD? First Marvel? First DC? Yeah, I'm getting a little crazy, but, would be interesting to know.

Not sure if this one was mentioned because it's not a big dollar book in raw condition but 9.8s are a premium - Umbrella Academy FCBD. I've got a soft part for the series, but with the creators new project being forthcoming, I think this book will get some more looks. If anyone hasn't read Umbrella Academy, I would encourage you to pick up the trades ASAP. You won't regret it.

[Gricomet-migration]

Hmm, I remember some of the other oni free comic book day issues had Scott Pilgrim strips. Probably not as key as the Scott Pilgrim focused one, but could be worth something to Scott Pilgrim completists.

[j_scott_o]

Thought I'd bring this thread back to the top since it has been about a month with no activity. Does anyone else have any input on possible FCBD Key Issues? What was the very first FCBD title(s)? Seems like that/they would be key.

[MadGenius]

The 2013 Dark Horse FCBD issue will be a key, methinks.
