Word?!?! Foom #15 First MS. MARVEL?!?!
Revealed earlier this week on Google + and that new Investment Blog..
Foom Magazine #15 came out in September of 1976. It features a two page written interview with Marvel Creators about “whats next”, and a full page splash of Ms.Marvel by “Jazzy” John Romita Sr. and a preview image of the full cover for Ms.Marvel #1.
The current established first appearance of Ms. Marvel is Ms. Marvel #1 was published by Marvel in January of 1977. So… Foom #15 came out Four months before Ms. Marvel #1 and features a Cameo at worst of Ms. Marvel. The First Cameo appearance.
This revelation has resulted in a plethora of copies selling on ebay ranging from $25 to $65 – with the highest Graded CGC 9.6 copy selling for $165 USD, this week.
Even though almost all reasonably priced available copies have sold on almost every online platform, this book can still be found in the wild in near mint condition for under $30, with lower grade copies going for much less.
This is a book with a lot of potential growth. While more people start talking about this book and its Ms. Marvel pin-up, the books value can only grow.

Just wanted to see if you have ever covered the issue of Marvel Age #12 in the past? Haven’t seen any reference to it for many years and just forgot about it until I was looking through my personal stash from when I was a teenager back in the early 80’s. Here is some inf I found… which stirs up the pot that in this issue WAS THE FIRST EVER LOOK AT SPIDERMAN’S BLACK SUIT, MONTHS BEFORE ASM #252 (which I also have by the way). Just wanted to see other folks’ thoughts as I love this treasure hunting side to collecting… see below, thanks, Greg F. “It’s the big Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Issue! Get a preview on all the stuff from the historic series! PLUS! See Spider-man’s black costume sketches in a comic that came out 2 MONTHS BEFORE Amazing Spider-Man # 252 (and Marvel Team-Up # 141 & Spectacular Spider-Man # 90. Secret Wars # 8 came out 7 months later). So… would this be the ACTUAL FIRST APPEARANCE of the alien costume that later becomes Venom? Article on Secret Wars, with designs of Spider-Man’s new costume; Associate Editor Jo Duffy discusses Heartburst; writer Jim Salicrup discusses The A -Team; Secret Wars. Cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty. Cover price $0.25.”
Hi,
Probably worth noting that Amazing World of DC Comics 6 (cover date May 1975) has a similar sketch of Power Girl that predates All-Star Comics 58 by some months.
