Adam Warlocks Cocoon in Guardians of the Galaxy

The comic book community has been abuzz with some of the clues to future characters found within the Collectors menagerie. One of the big ones is Adam Warlocks cocoon. Seen in the background in a container (see above photo)
The cocoon made its first appearance in Fantastic Four #67, it would later hatch in the issue and Him would emerge. Him would later become Marvel hero Adam Warlock. Confused, you are not alone. We wil make it much clearer in a future post, this one is about the cocoon only.

First Appearance

Alicia is lost in Lock 41, while there she comes face to face with the cocoon of Him, the artificial being asks for her help. The Fantastic Four rescue Alicia before Him full hatches and passes judgment on his creators, which he destroys upon his full emergence from the cocoon.
The issue was released in October 1967, written by Stan Lee with art by Jack Kirby. You can add a high CGC graded copy for about $700 and an ungraded issue in a lesser condition for $30. This issue comes from the Lee/Kirby duos when they were hitting their full stride.

Okay so if you have some time go to a convention this weekend and buy this issue and all the other characters that appear in GOTG, you can find more information in our Guardians of the Galaxy Character Guide

Good Luck on Your Hunt!

The countdown to Guardians of the Galaxy is almost complete, hopefully you can hunt down some tickets for premier. While you do, we continue our look at each characters first appearance, today we look at the lady of the group, Gamora. See previous review in our Guardians of the Galaxy Character Guide.
Gamora made her first appearance in Strange  Tales #180 alongside Adam Warlock. A graded gem mint 9.8 can be added to your collection for the low price of $1,500 while ungraded will cost you less then $10. This is the best deal of all the characters appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, especially since Comic legend Jim Starlin wrote, drew and colored the issue.


About Gamora
Gamora is the last of her species, the Zen Whoberi. Her kind were exterminated by the Badoon. As a child Gamora was found by Thanos and trained to be a assassin. Her skills  earned her the nickname "The deadliest woman in the whole galaxy".  As she grew older Gamora realized that Thanos was more of a threat then anyone she had faced so she turned on him and has battled him since.
