Does anyone consider an add a first appearance? Or a preview a first appearance?

There are instances where an ad or preview for a comic gains attention. It isn't technically considered their first appearance but it does have importance.

For example,
Savage Dragon #102 has a preview for Invincible.

More Fun Comics #31 has an ad for Action Comics #1

As you can see from the prices, the market views them differently. Is it possible for this to change someday? Sure.

A lot of times Previews magazines will have a brief 4-5 pages of an upcoming book. I haven’t looked but have any ever been considered valuable as they would show a character several months before the appearance.

I love to flip through them and throw them out.



The Marvel Previews for X-23 is bringing in some money. Also the one for Ultimate FF

Books get preview or ad boosts all the time. There are like 5 books that have an in house ad for Hulk #181 that people are going nuts over. Also Malibu Sun (can't remember the issue #) had an ad for Spawn and people lost their mind.
