Second Time Ever Published! 1 1

[comicginger1789]

Generally, I do not collect reprint titles like Marvel Tales or Marvel's Greatest Superheros, etc.

I like to try to track down the original published version of a story in its original title, if possible. Granted, that is not always financially possibly so I have made some exceptions. I also like it when comics are reprinted in a unique or different format (like treasury sized comics, pocket books or even those record combo packs which I believe reprinted certain issues).

I am interested in seeing some of your favourite reprints of classic stories or first issues. I am also interesting in spreading and sharing knowledge on locating some of these "earliest reprinted stories".

For example, what is the first reprinted version of Action Comics #1? Detective Comics #27? Amazing Fantasy 15? Hulk #1? These are a few on my personal radar to track down an early reprinted (and full) story copy.

I think the first reprint of AF15 is in Marvel Tales Volume 2 Issue 1.  However it only reprints the Spider-man story and not the other backups featured in Amazing Fantasy.  I do not think that AF15 is reprinted again until Marvel Tales Volume 2 Issue 137.

I'm not familiar with reprints that don't share the same title/cover, so my lists may not be the actual 1st reprint of the inside stories.

^ Thats fine, I am interested in any reprints of classic stories but generally the earlier the better.

The first 6 Hulk issues surely have an earlier reprint than 1991...if not, that makes me sad!

Depends if you count Origins of Marvel Comics or not.

1978

This is where I read Hulk 180/181 for the 1st time.....

Side question-what was the first reprint of just the superman story from Action #1?  And the first Batman story.

Very good chance I could be wrong here...

I always thought that Superman 1 in 1939 reprinted the first Action 1 Superman story.
