Nightwing #4 (1997) – The Debut of Lady Vic
When it comes to the rogues’ gallery of Nightwing, Lady Vic may not immediately spring to mind, but make no mistake—this issue from 1997 is one to watch for serious collectors. Making her first appearance in Nightwing #4, Lady Vic quickly established herself as a deadly assassin with a sharp wit and sharper weapons. As a consistent thorn in the side of Dick Grayson and his vigilante activities, Lady Vic has become a fan-favorite, particularly for those who closely follow the exploits of the Titans. Lady Vic’s debut in Nightwing #4 solidified her as a force to be reckoned with, making this issue a must-have for Titans fans and anyone looking to beef up their collection of 90s comic history. With Nightwing’s growing popularity on TV and other media, don’t be surprised if we see Lady Vic pop up in future adaptations. First appearances like these are collector gold.
Ghost Rider #70 (1982) – Meet Freakmaster and Monster Man
Sometimes the real joy of comic book collecting lies in the sheer absurdity of some characters. Enter Ghost Rider #70 from 1982. Now, Ghost Rider has had his fair share of serious and terrifying villains over the years, but this issue brings us not one, but two of the silliest-named foes you’ll ever encounter—Freakmaster and Monster Man. Yes, you read that right. These names sound more fitting for a Saturday morning cartoon, yet they somehow exist in the pages of a Ghost Rider comic. Despite the odd names, this issue is a hidden treasure for collectors who appreciate the strange side of Marvel’s darker hero. With two first appearances in a single issue, Ghost Rider #70 is a quirky but valuable addition to any collection. The charm here is in its weirdness, making it a must-have for those who enjoy the oddities of comic book history.

Uncanny X-Men #104 (1977) – Starjammers, Really?
What do you get when you mix space pirates with mutants? You get the Starjammers, and their first appearance happens to be in Uncanny X-Men #104 from 1977. Now, I’ll admit, the name Starjammers sounds more like an 80s rock band than a group of galaxy-hopping heroes, but these characters have played a pivotal role in the X-Men universe, particularly in stories involving space travel and the Shi’ar Empire. Led by Corsair (who, fun fact, is Cyclops’ father), the Starjammers have become a beloved group of spacefaring renegades. Their introduction in Uncanny X-Men #104 helped expand the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe, giving the X-Men more than just earthbound enemies to fight. For fans of mutant lore, this issue is a cornerstone—an essential part of any X-Men collection.
Sensational She-Hulk #15 (1990) – The Grey She-Hulk Arrives
You thought you knew She-Hulk? Think again. Sensational She-Hulk #15 from 1990 features the first appearance of the Grey She-Hulk, and yes, she looks just as furious as you’d expect. This issue marks a dramatic shift for the character, as She-Hulk’s usual green hue is swapped for grey, a callback to her cousin Bruce Banner’s early grey days as the Hulk. But Jennifer Walters brings her own unique rage to the table, and this issue stands out for both its cover and content. Sensational She-Hulk #15 is more than just a color swap—it’s a pivotal moment in She-Hulk’s evolution as a character. For fans who love following the various incarnations of Hulk characters, this is a must-have. Plus, how often do you get to see She-Hulk looking that angry?
Michael Myers Halloween #1 (2000) – The Horror Icon Comes to Comics
You’d think it wouldn’t take until the year 2000 for Michael Myers, the iconic slasher from the Halloween franchise, to make his comic book debut. But here we are. Michael Myers Halloween #1, published by Chaos Comics, finally gave the masked killer his moment in the comic book world, and horror fans were all in. This issue delivers all the terror and suspense you’d expect from the franchise, translating the film’s eerie atmosphere into the comic medium surprisingly well. For horror aficionados and comic collectors alike, Michael Myers Halloween #1 is a grail. With the ever-growing popularity of the Halloween franchise, especially after recent film reboots, this issue has gained more attention in the collector’s market. Its status as the first comic book appearance of Michael Myers makes it essential for fans of both comics and horror.
