    Default Technical cover appearance, old news

    Have we got a listing for this?

    Puck has a cover appearance in November, 1986, on:
    pretty much everything.

    Most of the Marvel comics for that month had him just below the bar code.
    The just-launched New Universe and some mini-serieses and magazines are among the exceptions.

    I say yes. It's a little cameo. Good luck finding some of those though, especially the Star Comics (Heathcliff, Care Bears, etc.). And good luck finding them in decent condition! Here's a list from my notes from that epic month:


    Alpha Flight 40
    Amazing Spider-Man 282
    Care Bears 7
    Classic X-Men 3
    Cloak and Dagger 9

    Daredevil 236
    Ewoks 10
    Fantastic Four 296
    GI Joe 53
    Heathcliff 12
    Incredible Hulk 325
    Masters of the Universe 4
    Muppet Babies 10
    New Mutants 45
    Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man 120

    My personal view(rather than that of site admin)'s always been that it's not new artwork so technically it's the same appearance as Alpha Flight #40 (The Direct Market version anyway, the newsstand version has the lowered barcode blocking him). It's why I personally don't consider things like Generation Hope #1 an appearance. Maybe that's just cos I'm poor though. If i were rich I'd snap them all up.

    Professionally I'm all for including them if people want.

    Getting this one the other week is what prompted my post.

    Compromise?
