Marvelguy's Madness Trivial Pursuit

[marvelguy]

As you all are aware of this by now, I've been promoted to mod status and I'd like to start a new game here. This game will be all sorts of trivial stuff from the amazing worlds of comics lore. I'll have trivial questions from all sorts of genres in comics, pictures, artists, cover guessing, etc..you get the gist of it.

There will be prizes in the form of comics. How many comics, you say? There will be plenty of comics as the game will be a huge one, maybe 50 questions, bonus rounds, we'll see as the game progresses, I'll update on the status as it goes on.

This is an announcement of sorts, I'll have my game stuff together before long.
Now, grasshopper, you must STUDY now for the rewards is great!!!!#oldie#

Hope to see you here.:)

[marvelguy]

P.S. --- The winner will be determined by the "best of" in terms of questions/guesses answered correctly. This will be a best of 50. :D

[marvelguy]

Let's kick this game in high gear now.

1. What was Steve Dikto first published cover in comics?

[fulltimer56]

Space Adventures #10 (Spring 1954)

[marvelguy]

That is correct, Linda. It is indeed Space Adventures #10.

The cover image from Wiki.

[marvelguy]

Fulltimer56 - 1

Another question coming up later.

[The Charlton Guy]

That is correct, Linda. It is indeed Space Adventures #10.

The cover image from Wiki.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/20/SFSpaceAdv10-Ditko1stcover.jpg/205px-


Ahemmm...need I say it?

YES I DO!:

CHARLTON COMICS GIVE YOU MORE!!!

[marvelguy]

That's right, CG. I was hoping you would catch it sooner. Ah well, maybe next time.

This question is more in line with the previous question of sorts.

What was Stan Lee's first published work in comics?

[fulltimer56]

Captain America Comics #3 (May 1941)

[marvelguy]

That you are correct again, Linda. It is Captain America Comics #3. He started as a text filler before doing real work in Captain America #5.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/CaptAmerica3.jpg/200px-CaptAmerica3.jpg

[marvelguy]

The score as of now...

Fulltimer56 - 2

[jaeldubyoo]

Hmmm...I guess I'll have to play catch up when I get back from my trip. I actually knew both answers, especially the Ditko one, since I have that comic and have a keen interest in Ditko stuff. Been too busy lately to play. But watch out. When I get back, I'll be playing with a vengeance.:twisted:

[marvelguy]

OK, here's the mystery cover.

Here's a clue.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover1.jpg

[marvelguy]

Yikes!! I forgot the clue. This is a "Current" comic.

[habib]

Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk #1 :)

[habib]

It's been a long time since I have been able to be the one guessing the cover!

I like it!! #banana1#

[marvelguy]

That is correct, Habib.

It is Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk #1.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/ultwolvhulk.jpg

The score as it stands :
Fulltimer52 - 2
Habib - 1

It's alot of fun when you discover and guesses it right. I like that feeling over at your games, too.

[marvelguy]

Ok, I'll have some scans up this weekend, until then I'll have some questions to shoot here.


In what issue and title did Spider-Man finally gets rid of the black alien costume?

[habib]

Ok, I'll have some scans up this weekend, until then I'll have some questions to shoot here.


In what issue and title did Spider-Man finally gets rid of the black alien costume?

I'm a thinkin' that was.......Web of Spider-Man #1.

Ringing the bells to get rid of the symbiote seemed to work.....

[marvelguy]

That is indeed.......correct.

It is the church bells that worked. The alien symboite's weakness is sound/sonic.

Scoreboard :
Fulltimer52 - 2
Habib - 2

[marvelguy]

Another question....perhaps very easy, we'll see.

In what title and issue did Barbara Gordon(Batgirl) gets paralyzed?

[fulltimer56]

I don't think there was an issue # but wasn't it in Batman: The Killing Joke?

Linda

[marvelguy]

You're right, Linda. It is Batman: The Killing Joke, a one-shot. That was a curveball there when I read it.

The score:
Fulltimer52 - 3
Habib - 2

To be continued tonight.............

[fulltimer56]

Oh by the way, MG my name is fulltimer56 not 52!! :p

[marvelguy]

What was the first Charlton Comics ever published?

[habib]

Zoo Funnies 101 (#1)

(at least that is what my Overstreet says!)

[marvelguy]

Hmmm......my other sources says otherwise, it has a specific book printed by Charlton. I haven't seen this one you mentioned, me thinks CG is gonna have a fit over this.

[marvelguy]

Sorry for the mix-up, it is indeed Zoo Funnies since it's under the Charlton label hence the previous name before did publish another book.

Another correct answer for Habib.

The link for it...http://www.chs.org/comics/charlton.htm
You'll see what I meant when I saw two different books, I assumed it was Yellowjacket #1, I didn't catch it afterwards.

[marvelguy]

The score as it stands...

Fulltimer56 - 3
Habib - 3

[marvelguy]

Who played the title role in the 1979 TV movie Captain America?

[habib]

Heh....I own that stinky movie on VHS.

Reb Brown

A sniper shooting Cap in this movie would have made it much more interesting........

[marvelguy]

Correcto mundo, Habib!

It is Reb Brown! The cyclist that rides on Easy Rider. Oh......not that pot-induced flick, it's the Cap flick.

The points...
Habib - 4
Fulltimer56 - 3

[marvelguy]

Name this comic!
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover2.jpg

[habib]

Holy micro-picture MG!!!

Bring out the magnifying glass!!!

OK....my eagle eyes tell me it's.......

Spider-Man: Redemption #1

[marvelguy]

That you are right, Habib. It is Spider-man : Redemption #1.

The tally....
Habib - 5
Fulltimer56 - 3

Another scan coming right up.....

[marvelguy]

I need to ask a question, are you guys seeing the scans as large or as small? Or is it just right? I just wanted to make sure that it represent itself correctly.

[marvelguy]

The cover for Redemption #1.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/mysterycover2.jpg

[marvelguy]

Another one to drool over......:D

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover3a.jpg

[habib]

That one is the right size MG......except you gave almost no clue at all man!!

That being said now I know I really need to get a life......because I knew that one without even using GCD. #spiderman#

Spider-Man: Legacy of Evil #1

The Mark Texeira art gave it away for me.

[marvelguy]

Oops! I really did forget the clue placement. Sorry about that. I'll do better next time. You know, the learning curve.

However, Habib did get another correct answer. It is Spider-Man : Legacy of Evil #1.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover3.jpg

The score ...
Habib - 6
Fulltimer56 - 3

[marvelguy]

Another one coming up, I need to get some panels...

[marvelguy]

Alas, I'll be back sometime tomorrow since the scanner is on the frizz. I need to update it with new drivers.

[fulltimer56]

Sorry I have been away for the last few days but I'm back now and ready to go!!

Of course how about some more questions and not just covers??? (I'm not very good with the covers!!) #oldie#

Linda

[marvelguy]

Sorry I have been away from this game a little bit, the scanner driver seemed to have skipped installation. It's fixed and loads of scans is coming in. I will get some questions ready sometime since it's easy and you can mostly find the answers online easily, I'll have to make it more "challenging" for that.

Ok, here's the Mystery Page.

Clue #1 : It's a 90's comic.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryPage1-1.jpg

[habib]

I don't have a copy in front of me to confirm but since the Thunderbolts are going after Spider-Man I will say.......

Spider-Man Team-Up #7

which has the Thunderbolts and Spider-Man together in one comic.

[marvelguy]

That is the correct answer, Habib. It is Spider-Man Team-Up #7.

Habib scores yet another win...
Habib - 7
Fulltimer56 - 3

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryPage1Cover.jpg

Another page scan coming up...

[marvelguy]

Guess this comic.
Clue #1 - Bronze Age

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryPage2-1.jpg

[marvelguy]

D-oh! I guess this scan's DPI isn't good at this point, if you need better DPI scan resolution, let me know, I'll try to improve it.

[habib]

Can't see the scan very well....#dunno#

Need more for me.....

[marvelguy]

I see...let me work on this a minute...

[marvelguy]

Ok, let's see if it does the trick.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/mysterypageupdate1.jpg

[marvelguy]

This is the best I could do, on my computer, it's sharp and clean but when it's transferred online, it gets foggy. There's something about file compression and whatnot. I haven't got the foggiest clue how to work them......

[stupidman]

Strange Tales #180.

[marvelguy]

We have a newcomer in this game and that newcomer guessed the correct answer. It is Strange Tales #180, you have a good eye, Stu, even with the scan being what it is and all.

Strange Tales #180
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryPage2Cover.jpg

The tally as of now...
Habib - 7
Fulltimer56 - 3
Stupidman - 1

[marvelguy]

Another mystery page...

Clue #1 - It's a classic cover, at least in my opinion.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryPage3.jpg

[stupidman]

We have a newcomer in this game and that newcomer guessed the correct answer. It is Strange Tales #180, you have a good eye, Stu, even with the scan being what it is and all.

Bluriness didn't matter - the last panel has the next issue's story title. That's all I used to figure it out :-)

Next guess - Daredevil #131

[marvelguy]

What a cool looking Warlock, huh? Only Starlin can draw him like no one else, not even Perez.

[marvelguy]

No, not Daredevil #131.

[marvelguy]

Clue #2 - Anniversary

[fulltimer56]

How about Daredevil #132

[marvelguy]

Not Daredevil #132, too cold.

[fulltimer56]

OK how about Daredevil #200

[marvelguy]

Very good, Linda. The art inside is a dead giveaway to the cover. Another point for the lady.

Daredevil #200
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryPage3Cover.jpg

Habib - 7
Fulltimer - 4
Stupidman - 1

[fulltimer56]

I don't know about that! The cover of #201 also has him with a broken arm!! ;)

Now I just need to catch up with habib!!

Linda

[marvelguy]

I'll be scanning some more tonight or whereabouts then. I need to improve on my scanning mojo.:)

[marvelguy]

I got a question for you, where did the X-Babies come from?

[fulltimer56]

The X-Babies were created by Mojo in Uncanny X-Men Annual #10 & in #12 because it was thought that the X-Men were killed in Dallas.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/fulltimer56/boardimages/Xbabies1.png

[ZombieToaster]

Im no marvel know it all like the rest but ill go with mojo's dimension as the answer. But maybe it should be more specific?

Will there be any non-marvel/dc questions?

Edit: doh, one minute to late :p

[Hoss]

Hi ZombieToaster!

Welcome to the Comics Corral!

Hope you have lots of fun here!

[ZombieToaster]

So your the guy who tricked me into comin here :p

[Hoss]

#joker# My nefarious schemes are coming to fruition!

[marvelguy]

WOW! Both correct answers in a way that's only 1 minute apart. I'm gonna have to give both of you points for it since Zombie is a newbie and Linda (Fulltimer56) did posted a picture here of the marvelous X-Babies. They do come from the Mojoverse and first appeared in X-Men Annual #10.

The points as of now....

Habib - 7
Fulltimer - 5
Stupidman - 1
Zombietoaster - 1

Oh yeah, I'll get a indy question or 2 here.

[fulltimer56]

Goody, just 2 behind habib now!!

[marvelguy]

What was the name of the comic book series that introduced the famous movie monsters "Alien"? What issue was it?

[habib]

Heavy Metal ~ May 1979

[fulltimer56]

Oh well, I'm back to 3 again because I sure didn't know that answer!! :confused:

[marvelguy]

Just a minute, Linda. I need to check it out, I'm baffled by that answer, I assumed it was another book until this one.

[marvelguy]

It does check out, I have never thought it was that way back. It is Heavy Metal May 1979. It features a short story, actually a 2-parter in which that issue is the first part of a story. I'm surprised about this. My answer was of the Dark Horse Presents issue. There we go, Habib got this one squarely.

Habib - 8
Fulltimer - 5
Stupidman - 1
Zombietoaster - 1


Another question coming up.

[marvelguy]

What was Superman's weakness as described in Action Comics Annual #1 as drawn by Art Adams?

[fulltimer56]

The real answer is:

Heavy Metal Presents: Alien The Illustrated Story in 1979

[fulltimer56]

Magic

[marvelguy]

The real answer is:

Heavy Metal Presents: Alien The Illustrated Story in 1979


Right, a 2-part running over 2 issues, the next one I assume, the June 1979 issue.

Many thanks to Habib and Linda.#allhailme#
That does mean I'm very narrow minded on one company, huh?

[marvelguy]

Magic

Yes, it is magic or better yet, supernatural. He had been bitten by a vampire in that issue. That issue teamed Supes with Bats against the hordes of vampires. That issue is one of my favorites as it has Art's art and a cool story to boot.

Linda scores another one.


Habib - 8
Fulltimer - 6
Stupidman - 1
Zombietoaster - 1

More questions later tomorrow.;)

[fulltimer56]

Thanks, MG! I was going to say supernatural but I thought Magic would be better!! ;)

[Evil Parsnip]

umm.. his last name was Brown.. Rob? I think.. heck I know enough of it to cheat...

It was Reb Brown!

[Evil Parsnip]

a special thanks to the IMDB for allowing me to check that answer!

[habib]

Hey EP!

Ummmm......that question was at the end of page 3......we are on page 9 now. #creep#

Brother, you might be having tons of fun going around the world but us Corralites expect you to check in more often! #cowboy#

Where ever you are.....be safe.....have fun.....and answer your trivia questions on time :p

[camper49]

i

[Evil Parsnip]

hey, that's what came up when I hit last page! I never even saw this game before..

of course with everything you could possibly want to ask online it's hard to imagine a legit trivia game anymore... which is sad.

[Evil Parsnip]

but fun.. *S* anyhow, sorry about that very late answer.

[habib]

EP....no need to be sorry.....I'm just razzin' ya!

You are right about trivia games. With the internet most things are going to be pretty easy to find if you have any knowledge of the subject whatsoever.....so be here often and play! (It is going to be tough to beat Linda though!)

[marvelguy]

Pop question......

In what universe did the heroes stayed at before they came back in the Marvel event, "Heroes Return"?

[fulltimer56]

It was a pocket universe/dimension from the "Onslaught" event!

[marvelguy]

And who made it?

[fulltimer56]

Franklin Richards the son of Reed and Susan Richard!

[marvelguy]

That is the correct answer, Linda. It is the pocket universe created by Franklin Richards after the events caused by Onslaught. They were in the universe that has spawned Heroes Reborn. After those series ended, they came back in an event called "Heroes Return" in which we read now.

Linda tallies up another and one more closer to Habib.

[marvelguy]

Here's a mystery cover for you to ponder upon.

Clue #1 : DC

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover4.jpg

[fulltimer56]

Green Lantern #141 June 1981

[marvelguy]

Linda has scored another hit! She has the correct answer for the mystery cover of which it is Green Lantern #141.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/GreenLantern141.jpg

[marvelguy]

Another mystery cover to guess.

Clue #1 : A new take on a classic

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover5.jpg

[marvelguy]

Is anyone still playing this game? No guesses?

[habib]

Better reveal another piece of the pie......#creep#

[marvelguy]

Ok, getting it out and coming right up in a few minutes.

[marvelguy]

Here's another slice of the pie...

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/MysteryCover5-2.jpg

[marvelguy]

Clue #2 : Late 80's

[fulltimer56]

Sorry I'm drawing a blank here!

[Evil Parsnip]

What if? #1 1988 was supposed to be the start of a series but ended up as a special...

[marvelguy]

Evil Parsnip has the correct answer. It is What If? #1 Special June 1988.
I thought this was easy, heh, heh.

[miguelohara]

I'll take...What If: Scarlet Spider Killed Spider-Man for $500, Alex. (Jeopardy humor for ya...)

[marvelguy]

Yes, it is What If Scarlet Spider Killed Spider-Man #86?

Here we have a newcomer playing this game, Miguelohara. He has the correct answer, you have a good eye here.

Remember gang, I will have a BONUS round later on in this game. This means that when the bonus questions/puzzles starts, it will count towards your points along with the 50 questions/puzzles points. There's no telling how many I'll do but the rewards is great!

[jaeldubyoo]

I'm back.

[marvelguy]

I'm back and I got a question for you.

What was the line called at first before Marvel decided to use Ultimate in a new line of comics when Ultimate Spiderman #1 was launched?

[fulltimer56]

Was it "Ground Zero"?

[marvelguy]

Linda has the correct answer, it is Ground Zero. That was the idea of Bill Jemas, then publisher of Marvel along with Joe Q, decided on new imprint based on Marvel characters with their origins somewhat tweaked. She has taken the lead.

Fulltimer - 9
Habib - 8
Stupidman - 1
Zombietoaster - 1
Evil Parsnip - 1
Miguelohara - 1

[marvelguy]

Why did Spiderman decided to wear the black costume currently running in comics now?

[fulltimer56]

When Aunt May was shot, it made Peter go back to the black costume to act in a more fierce and dangerous way?

[marvelguy]

That explains it better. He was fed up with the outcome of Civil War and the consequences of being on the run with May and MJ. The stress has taken its toll on Peter and he snapped when May got shot.

Linda scores another one.

Kids Will Fall For This?

8^P

[fulltimer56]

Hi MG,

Where's the new question/cover?

Linda

[marvelguy]

So far 22 questions/puzzles has been done. Only 3 more to the halfway point and I will get the bonus round going. How's that sound. guys and girl(s)?


Good! That's better!

Now onward to the question.

What does John Byrne, Mike Zeck, Jim Aparo, Bob Layton, Roger Stern and Joe Staton have in common?

[habib]

They all started for Charlton comics!

[marvelguy]

Habib has the correct answer. It is the commonality that they all started for Charlton Comics.

Habib scores another point.

Tally so far...

[marvelguy]

Another question for you fans...

This is a 3-part question, thereby needing a 3-part answer.

In what issue did Colossus died (assumed), why did he die and what issue did he come back?

[habib]

Colossus injected himself with the Legacy virus cure and died in X-Men #390.

He returned in Astonishing X-Men #4.

This was done by memory but I think it is correct.

[fulltimer56]

1) Uncanny X-Men #390

2) Because of his sister's death from the Legacy virus he didn't want any more deaths from it and he knew that the cure could only be release with the death of the first user.

3) Astonishing X-Men #4 (I'm not sure of this one?)

[fulltimer56]

Damn, habib beat me to it! :(

[habib]

Damn, habib beat me to it! :(

Heh...Heh....Heh :cool:

Yep, Habib did beat you to the punch. LOL. He is correct on all counts.

Moon Knight -Werewolf by Night #32
Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) - Marvel Spotlight #32
X-23 - NYX #3

[habib]

The NYX #3 has to be the one because I remember it selling for much more than the others a couple years ago.....

[marvelguy]

That's correct! Marvel.com says her first appearance is NYX #3. You have all answered the first appearances correctly and in order.

Sorry, Linda. Habib did beat you to the clock, again. LOL

LOL ~ Man do I need a life!! I can't believe the info stored in my grey matter somewhere.....

I just sold an Amazing Fantasy #15 on ebay so I had that one. I grew up on SA & BA Marvel Comics (can you say Marvel Zombie) and I should have got the NYX without being told because I remember selling 5 or 6 of those for real good money a couple years ago.

[marvelguy]

Hey folks! I'm back after having a hectic weekend. I had to finish up with the storage building in my backyard. I had a breather Monday and now I'm back.:)

This will be the beginning of the bonus round. I will decide how long the round will be and how many questions/puzzles I can throw at you here.:D
The points that is earned here will go towards your overall score and whoever wins this round only, will get a prize just for winning the bonus round only. Even if you win the bonus and the regular round, you will get both prizes. Get it? Good, let's get started!

I will be posting some pictures for you to ID regarding characters, this will be a test of comics geekiness.#woohoo# Here's hoping you already know these and lots of internet searches are abound. Good luck!

[marvelguy]

Close enough, get the spelling correct.

[fulltimer56]

John Cassaday is the right way to spell it! Good call Stu!

[marvelguy]

Stu has the correct answer, he did answer the question correctly as you would've heard it anyways. Stu ties it up with Linda for the lead.

Another guess coming up...

[marvelguy]

Who am I?

Clue #1 - Very camera shy

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/whoamis.jpg

[stupidman]

Steve Ditko

[fulltimer56]

I have only met a few writers and artists over the years so I'm not too good with this part of the questions! ;)

Linda

[marvelguy]

Stud has the correct answer, it is Steve Dikto! He does not like to have his picture taken due to his beliefs.

The tally...

Stupidman - 4
Fulltimer56 - 2

[fulltimer56]

What beliefs are them?

[stupidman]

Objectivism/Ayn Rand-ism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ditko#Personal_life

[marvelguy]

Maybe this one will be easily answered, Linda. Try it and see who that is.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/marvelguy34/whoisthis.jpg

[fulltimer56]

I really don't know but I'll take a guess:

Jack Kirby?

[marvelguy]

Try again.

Clue #1 - He has a brother that does the same thing he does.

[fulltimer56]

John Buscema?

[marvelguy]

Linda has the correct answer, it is John Buscema. He is one of my favorite artists when he did Wolverine around the late 80's.

She scores another one for the boards.

I also liked him when he did Conan with Ernie Chua or his brother Sal.

Remember:

[marvelguy]

I do like Ernie Chan. I only have noticed his works in Power Man and Iron Fist back issues. I didn't know he worked with JB on Conan. Nice covers, Linda.

[fulltimer56]

Ernie even did some of the pencils in some of the Conan books. I like his work on it's own too.

Linda

[camper49]

My Ernie Chan memories are of Bronze Age BATMAN

[marvelguy]

Next up is one of the artist that has worked on Marvel comics during the Silver Age.

[jaeldubyoo]

One of my favorites, Wally Wood.

[fulltimer56]

Oh No, jael is back!! ;)

Welcome back, kiddo! You have been missed.

Linda

[marvelguy]

Jael has the correct answer and he sure has been missed here. LOL.

The first point ever for Jael.

[jaeldubyoo]

I've been busy. Life keeps getting in the way.#dunno#

[marvelguy]

Quick question, what is the name of the two new characters that debuted in the Free Comic Book Day 2007 Edition in Spiderman?

[jaeldubyoo]

Jackpot and Overdrive

[marvelguy]

Jael has it right. It is Jackpot and Overdrive. I love that book and the writer and artist should be on ASM ASAP!!!!!!!! That artist is one of the BEST Spidey artist I've seen in years since McFarlane. He can draw action and makes a good panel layouts as well as Jackpot!

Another point for Jael.

[marvelguy]

Well, it has been a while since I posted here.

Here's the question.....

Name the title and issue number in the order that they appeared...

Thanos
The Infinity Gems
Warlock
Silver Surfer
Drax the Destroyer
Pip
Captain Marvel (no, not the Shazam one)
and
Nitro

After this question, there will be 5 more bonus round questions before heading back to the regular round. I will post prizes once the bonus round reaches completion.

[fulltimer56]

Silver Surfer - Fantastic Four #48
Warlock - Fantastic Four #66 & #67
Captain Marvel - Marvel Super-Heroes #12
Thanos - Iron Man #55
Drax the Destroyer - Iron Man #55
Nitro - Captain Marvel #34
Pip - Strange Tales #179
The Infinity Gems - Marvel Team-Up #55

Lord, I hope this is right!

[fulltimer56]

Knock, Knock!! Are you around MG?? I'm I right or not with the order of the names? #oldie#

Linda

[marvelguy]

I'm still around, I've been trying to get on the GCD site the last 3 days. Somehow, it would not get the search done right. I needed the search to get the dates right. Sorry it took a while.

[fulltimer56]

Yeah, I know. I got an email from GCD and it's that they are having some trouble with their servers and they were working to get it back up and running! BTW I didn't get my info from the GCD because it wasn't working!! :cool:

Linda

[marvelguy]

You did get everything correct regarding dates of the appearances in order I listed but........I'm still researching the last one about the Infinity Gems. I guess I shot myself in the foot on that one, lol. There appears to be way too many appearance regarding the Infinity Gems when you talk about different stones and then it's this one issue where they all appear together as an object. I'm in the dark on this one. How did you come across that one, the Marvel Team-Up #55 issue?

[marvelguy]

I came across something a friend told me and some research online. The last one needs a credible issue that confirms the fact that all of the gems were collected at once. Try again.

[jaeldubyoo]

Are you referring to the Thanos Quest #1 and #2 where Thanos gets all the gems together and they are actually referred to as the Infinity Gems??

[marvelguy]

If you get all the answers stated as mentioned, then I'd consider it.

[jaeldubyoo]

My answers would be no different from Linda's except the one for the Infinty Gems. To be fair, Linda did get all the others right.

[fulltimer56]

I wasn't sure about the Gems! The first stone showed up with Warlock, I think then the different ones showed up at different times.

Jaeldubyoo is right about all of them being put together by Thanos in the issue The Thanos Quest from 1990 and is continued in The Infinity Gauntle in 1991!

Linda

And your right that one was the killer for looking up info

[marvelguy]

Well, this is a nightmare for me actually. I will be fair to everyone that has played here regarding that question. Jael is correct in guessing Thanos Quest #1 and #2 about the first true appearance of all the gems that were collected and Linda did correctly id the others. I will give Linda 3 points and Jael one point for my trouble.

The tally so far....

Awesome thread, guys.
Keep the questions coming.
maybe I'll be lucky enough to check in when it hasn't been answered yet.

[marvelguy]

OK, here's the last bonus one before coming back to the regular round.

Post books that is the creator's first published work in Marvel.

JRJR
John Byrne
Frank Miller
John Buscema
Jim Shooter
Brian Bendis
Chris Claremont
Bryan Hitch
Sal Buscema
Greg Horn
John Cassaday

Again, there's 10 points for the first one to correctly post it.

[camper49]

I'll give them a shot.

John Romita JR...Iron Man

John Byrne...he did a back-up story in one of the Giant-Size books but I can't recall which one.

Frank Miller...this one is easy, John Carter Warlord of Mars

John Buscema...Strange Tales (not counting any work he did for any pre-Marvel publishers in the 40's and 50's)

Jim Shooter...Daredevil ???

Brian Bendis...Ultimate Spider-Man

Chris Claremont...Marvel Premiere

Bryan Hitch...he did work for Marvel overseas so I'm not familiar with Marvel's Brit books. I'll say his North American start was on She-Hulk???? Just a wild Guess.

Sal Buscema...The Avengers

Greg Horn...EleKtra (or She-Hulk?). Elektra is my final answer, Regis!

John Cassaday...X-Men/Alpha Flight

[marvelguy]

How about some issue numbers to go with the titles, please.

BTW, some of them are wrong.

[camper49]

Sorry MG, I don't know all thre answers but this is what I can fathom.
Are all the ones I added numbers to correct?

John Romita JR...Iron Man #115

John Byrne...he did a back-up story in one of the Giant-Size books but I can't recall which one. GS Dracula #5

Frank Miller...this one is easy, John Carter Warlord of Mars #18

Jim Shooter...Daredevil ???

Brian Bendis...Ultimate Spider-Man #1

Sal Buscema...The Avengers ???

Greg Horn...Elektra (or She-Hulk?). Elektra is my final answer, Regis! ???

John Cassaday...X-Men/Alpha Flight #1

[marvelguy]

JRJR, that I know is wrong.
You have Frank Miller, John Buscema, and John Byrne correct.
At this point, they are correct, the others hasn't been listed with their respective issue and/or titles. You're warmer with the Sal answer.

[camper49]

hhhmmm.....that's as good as I'm gonna get without going on-line to cheat.
Tough questions, at least for me anyway.

[marvelguy]

Hey, you can go online, I didn't say anything about it but you did good without going online.

BTW, Bendis is correct.

[jaeldubyoo]

I'll give it a shot.

I'd re-check the GCD by date for Shooter. They do list a title that's earlier than GR ;-)

There you go, you have won the Bonus round outright and you have taken a commanding lead in the game. I can't even believe that Chris Claremont started on a reprint X-Men book in which he did a plot assist on the back-up story.

[stupidman]

"I can't even believe that Chris Claremont started on a reprint X-Men book in which he did a plot assist on the back-up story."

X-Men didn't go to reprints until issue # 67. And I don't think there was a back-up story in X-Men # 59?

[fulltimer56]

Well, I only had two wrong!! I also had Elektra #1 right too!

Well, there went two hours of research down the drain!! :(

Linda

[marvelguy]

Err, I did mentioned that Elektra is wrong but you did have it correct on your behalf. As the game progresses, there were wrong answer on the folks who entered info on all the names. I did posted that you have 2 wrong and you'll have to figure it out based on the other entry. Hope that helps.
