Jeff, you have to give me the name of the Disney comics that you read at Chronicle time. Chronicle time? Stupid spell robot, I meant the Christmas stories.

I don't agree with the ruling about Valiant characters not counting as spin offs because it was planned. Why would it matter? They debuted in a story that wasn't about them.

It annoys me when an 'OOP' or 'rare' collected edition costs infinitely MORE than the original comics (1-9).
I am not paying nearly $500 for Battle Chasers.
I can’t imagine that they realize the 500 asking price.

If you want them to survive, you have to buy from them on a regular basis. That’s what i started to do , but there isn’t a lot I want to collect.

Okay, what about characters debuting in another title who were clearly being set up to get their own series from the getgo and were just appearing in another title in order to get a quick plug? New Warriors in Thor immediately comes to mind,or Dazzler in X-Men, or Suicide Squad in Legends, or nearly every character in the Valiant Universe. These were less organic spin-offs and more the kind of free publicity one might get from appearing on a talk show. In my mind, if the new series was already being planned/solicited prior to the first guest appearance, it shouldn't count. Sorry if this kills your plans to include Prophet, Icctrombone 😉😂 And what of the reverse: a title or one-shot created just to introduce upcoming titles? Iron Man & Sub-Mariner #1, for example. Do we count both of those ongoing features as spin-offs because of that promotional one-shot? Or would the fact that both characters had features prior to that disqualify them anyway? And what about a character like Longshot, who debuted in his own title, but who was clearly tied to the X-Men franchise? And I agree with Driver that alternative reality characters (or really any alternate versions of existing characters) are less spin-offs and more their own enormous can of worms. I could easily make a top twelve of just alternate takes on existing characters. Don't really need it cluttering up this already beautiful assignment. Don’t kill my dream. I suspect that are very few characters after the 80’s that were organic the way you describe. I take it literally that if they appeared first in a place that wasn’t their book or story, it is eligible.

Marty Krofft has passed away at 86. Marty was the younger of the brother puppeteering team that went on to be among the most important producers of children's television in the U.S. in the 60s and 70s. Loved me some H.R. Pufnstuf and Liddsville back in the day. Is it true that they started all the younger people into psychedelics because of those puppets?
