Marvel Premiere #50 (October 1979, Marvel Comics) — NM 9.4
“Alice Cooper: From the Inside” — The Shock-Rocker’s First Comic Book Appearance
The official first appearance of Alice Cooper in comics — a cult-favorite Bronze Age oddity that fuses Marvel storytelling with Cooper’s theatrical psycho-hospital concept album From the Inside (1978). Co-plotted by Alice Cooper himself, scripted by Ed Hannigan, and illustrated by Tom Sutton with inks by Terry Austin, this issue reads like a surreal tour through the rock star’s mind — padded cells, asylum wardens, and all.

Minimal micro-stress visible only under magnification. One of the best-presenting raw copies you’ll see — perfect for fans of both Marvel oddities and stage-blood rock history.
