Interesting that this thread is still up.

 

I guess it is only a politics thread if you're asking about first appearances of candidates from the wrong party.

 

I would think it's a politics thread when politics is being discussed.

 

 

That would be the logical deduction. But I saw at least the last Donald Trump first appearance thread, and there was nothing political about it. And yet, it got yanked.

Yep, it seems that it was a pretty garbage, knee-jerk move.

The first one went bad and was removed. The second one was pulled because the mods don't take kindly to people duplicating threads that were removed.

Possibly MAD #476 April 2007 and MAD #479 July 2007?

 

When was Brave New World #1 published?

Well, for that OP and anyone curious about comic appearances here is a list: http://www.vulture.com/2016/11/donald-trump-comics.html

Fixed.

 

It would have been nice to just post the list, I think. Just my opinion.

Licensable Bear #4. Release date 7/18/07. Wow. Almost 10 years ago.

 

[Jacey]

It was the Licensable Bear #4 issue

 

Features 1st comic app. Barack Obama (pre-elections, etc.). Predates the President's appearance in Savage Dragon #137 by more than a year. Only 1,050 copies were produced.

The finger wag could be taken several different ways, you identify one possibility, don't be political in CG is another...

A thread on the Clinton Cash Graphic Novel (selling out 1st print, topping Amazon Graphic Novel list) was also pulled down.

 

Valid comicbook discussion involving political figures tends to be a tough subject to keep on the rails. Does a politician, in a comicbook, count as political discussion. Obviously not per se, but inevitably it devolves.

1st Obama is Licensable Bear #4.

I was OP for both Trump 1st appearance threads, and I didn't even get to see any of the comments in the first thread. All I knew is that they yanked it. The second thread was all above board, as Lazyboy said, all about comics history (FYI first Trump is probably World War 3 Illustrated #10, still need visual confirmation, working on getting a copy of it).

 

I received a private warning PM about the second thread, and I asked for the rationale for pulling the second thread. Response: "While referencing a character, these are real political people, which is not allowed on the boards."

 

My response: "So, again, not to be belligerent, but how do any of the Obama books or books with Hitler on the cover or any other political figure in comics get discussed on this forum? Shouldn't a thread be judged on its content? If you actually looked at what was being discussed on the second Trump thread, it was a discussion of comic book history and had ZERO to do with politics. I just don't get how you can, in good conscience, censor a discussion of comic book history that does not veer into political opinions."

 

I have no personal political/ideological interest in promoting Trump, but not being able to discuss comics history on the CGC forum is pretty terrible.

Then please just keep it to yourself. I didn't write the article and I didn't have the time to type out a separate list and had no desire to delve into the political leanings of it one way or the other. A question was asked, there was an article floating around that gave an answer, simple as that. Easy enough to pick out appearances without getting into the author's drivel.
