What is # 59?

I don’t mind that Wolverine panel since over time it became important(his first appearance). What made Wolverine special though it’s that “Now it’s my Turn” in the sewers, drawn by John Byrne.

I can’t believe that Wolverine panel is on this list. Nobody cared about Wolvie until he was put in the X-Men, and really not even then until Byrne made him look so cool.

That panel does nothing for me either, but I think you’ve answered the question yourself. This panel was the moment that made people like the character.

And what’s “iconic” about the Thor-frog panel? It was one goofy story.

The shaving Namor panel has always been one of the most stricking covers of all time. Great job by The King.

Completely agree with you, Matthew C. Love that panel and what it says, but not really iconic in today’s Marvel.

Okay, I don’t get it. I know that the idea of iconic is that a specific image is identifiable enough to resound down through history (or something like that) but some of the images I simply don’t recognize or know why they are iconic. For instance, other than being a picture of a near-nude (or near-topless, at least), what is so iconic about #59? Is it that the lovely woman whose nudity is carefully concealed is important or in an important moment? Or is it that the scene was the first time since the Comic Code was started that a major comic book publisher came that close to showing bare breasts?

Seriously, a bit of context would have gone a long way.

Fuck yeah, Frog Thor!

I wish I were more substantive, but c’mon, Frog Thor!

So far the only one of my top ten pick to have been ‘dropped’ into a lower tier is the Fantastic Four wedding kiss. I suppose I knew it wasn’t really that iconic.

I SINCERELY DON´T CARE WHAT PANEL IS NUMBER ONE. JUST LOOKING AT THEM ALL IS A DELIGHT. THANX, BRIAN.

Shaving Namor was my #11. It just got bumped by the Spiderman No More image—though I question that decision and still am not certain which I feel is more iconic.

I had the Daredevil getting beat by Namor panel as one of my ten. Though I don’t know if its all that iconic I do think it is awesome, and thats one of my favorite stories of all time. It is lacking a bit in compostion though so I see why it didn’t rank higher.

The first of my votes has shown up – the Reed and Sue wedding panel. Suprised it didn’t rank slightly higher.

While I didn’t have any X-panels (or maybe one), I did end up having a fair number of Spider-panels… which did bump (sorry to say) “This Man, This Monster” (my favorite comic story of all).

… which – I think – gets to my problem with this contest.

What precisely is the definition of iconic?

This is somewhat rhetorical as I think that each of us has our own definition.

Hence, the complete and utter chaos in the rankings…

Wow, Shaving Namor has way too much significance to merit a spot in the 50s. Can it get an honorable mention? Maybe you can get Gillette to sponsor it, pimping their new X-tra Close Acetylene Power Torch system.

I’m surprised the wedding one is so low (though I didn’t vote for it)

aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!

Ok I’m better now.

Well that Spidey panel made it even higher than 10 on mine, so I guess that’s fair enough.

Well.. you might end up throwing that beer in my face when you find that “this man this monster” got bumped out of my tenth spot by the spider-man under the machinery panel.

@FourthWorlder and Fan4Fan

We’ll just have to meet up after all this and get totally drunk and cry in our beer about how those damn Muties and Spidey have done it to us again.

The only one I’m going to be REALLY* upset over is if “This Man, This Monster” doesn’t make it in the top 10 – which I have my doubts about, but I’m holding out hope.

It could be worse, we could be Iron Man fans…

*Upset as in “that sucks”, not real world upset, I do kinda have a life…
