woowoo Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 11 minutes ago, Jaydogrules said: Agreed. And *hint The reason why DC has never nor will ever change their official site is because they would never allow a potential, trifling quirk in their delivery schedules 80 years ago to impact their canon in such a nonsensical, irrational manner. Lesson- Content trumps all. Rightfully so. And even more so, over something that cannot conclusively be proven either way from 80 years ago, even if it was true. -J.

The market can throw money at whatever it wants, but facts don't change just because you think a publishing schedule was quirky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The similarity ends with the publishing sequence not matching the story order. Luthor is a major character in both books. Gambit is a minor character in his first appearance (and that's being polite). Joshua33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the impact to DC? He's not even the same character anymore and hasn't been for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have been the one who posted the publication dates that appear to be 100% accurate. No problem, I would ask Mark for some pencil dates on both comics if you want to pursue the arrival date. If memory serves there's some more pencil dates out there on these covers. Edited July 23, 2019 by Rip Joshua33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gino2paulus2 Posted July 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2019 This thread has been a blast to read for some odd reason. A little heavy on all the sarcastic remarks but hey we’re a comic family and every family likes to have heated debates at times!! Great info throughout and I think the OP did his research and made some valid points. That being said when I took my son to his first ever comic convention some 4 years ago we were lucky enough to pick up this wonderful Action 23 under the assumption it was the 1st Luthor in comics. Also just love these old large logo DCs and as far as Action covers are concerned this one is pretty awesome I’m a sucker for moon covers It presents so nicely even though incomplete (stories all there) So based on personal interest alone and what I’ve always assumed Action 23 to me is the 1st app hehehe!! This book carries with it a very fond memory for me!! Carry on... woowoo, porcupine48, Joshua33 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
