Sources. Bibliographic data comes from the Grand Comics Database data dump (CC BY-SA 4.0), scoped to United States, English-language publications. This build: 2026-09-02 00:55:05.
First appearances. A first-appearance claim means: the earliest appearance of the character in this database by issue key date, excluding appearances flagged as flashbacks, with variant printings dated by their parent issue. It is a claim about the record, and the record grows; corrections are welcome.
Cross-checking. First-appearance claims are cross-checked against Wikidata's first-appearance property. Agreement and disputes are shown on the page; a dispute is information, not an error. Only unambiguous name and issue matches are used.
Variants. Variant printings are shown on their parent issue's page. Identification cues come from the recorded differences (price, barcode, variant name).
What is deliberately absent. Prices, price guides, grading census data, and sales estimates. The buy links are eBay affiliate links and never change what the record says.
