Itās the approach in the way itās said by some. When someone says an actual appearance isnāt an appearance, thatās just exhausting because itās simply not true. Saying a cameo isnāt a ātrue appearanceāā¦ wtf does that suppose to mean? It is basic common senseā¦ and itās just being pedantic when people want to argue that a cameo or silhouette isnāt an actual appearanceā¦ 
Yup. Every field or body of knowledge has its generally accepted parlance. And, in ours, comic book collecting, words like appearance and cameo have been co-opted. Itās a foolās errand to try to change decades of terminology.
Iām not actually saying do away with cameo or other terms to describe the appearance, my thing is when people argue itās ānot an appearanceā while saying itās a cameo of whatever theyāre calling it. Thatās when I start pulling my hair outā¦ a cameo is an appearance and it could be a first appearance, could be a cameo for the second appearance tooā¦
now did the mr sinister cameo
Destro cameo in GIJoe 11 is the king of all cameos.
15 panels of cameoā¦

Dr. Claw beats thatā¦ in the original Inspector Gadget cartoon, we only see his hands and arms mostly from behind his chair, never seeing what he actually looks like from any other angle. I guess for some, heās never made a ātrue appearanceā in the cartoonā¦

While he was forever in cameo, his true face is disappointing.
There was an action figure released that revealed it, but the packaging was the ultimate troll

To cameo or not to cameo, now that is the question

Dammit. I thought that he hadā¦but forgot about that book and my search on the internet did not bring that upā¦

Tax day is quickly approaching. Just sent mine in this evening, leaving little time for throwing together an FOC list. Oh, and we will no longer be linking comics to TFAW, as they are shutting down their online ordering.
Hang on, here we go!
COVERS
Normally the cover of the week would be reserved for great artwork, but this book, a reprint of Image issue #1, will include a sound chip of the transforming noise! Hopefully itās the cartoon, and not the movies.
Highlighting the Optimus Prime cover becauseā¦wellā¦itās Prime! But there is also a Decepticon (Starscream) variant.
(Note: These sound byte covers are $19.99 retail)
Supposedly the Transformers #1 will have a different sound file than the Void Rivals reprint.
Cool mash-up cover, Sonic as Flash. Not too many shops offering this online, from what I can find.
His covers outside of Monsters have fizzled a bit. But heās still hitting it out of the park on this series.
FACSIMILES
First appearance of Aquaman and Green Arrow get the Fax treatment.
