Not one but THREE first comic book appearances; Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady! In May of 2024 a 9.8 CGC sold for $948.

This entry is for the $1.25 NEWSSTAND CPV. It is such an interesting circumstance that in addition to the single-price NEWSSTAND copies, Archie also produced single-price DIRECT EDITION copies of this issue as well (in other words, rather than placing both $1.00 and $1.25 CAN on all direct editions, they produced two distinct batches, a $1.00 direct edition and a $1.25 direct edition). In connection with CGC's decision to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, CGC apparently went back through their database of images and separated the census for this issue into two CPV entries: the DIRECT EDITION CPV is categorized as "Canadian Price Variant" while the NEWSSTAND CPV is categorized as "Canadian Newsstand Price Variant." Also, see my separate two-part post on this issue: Part I & Part II
