Someone Did the Funniest Thing With Venom's First Appearance (or Cameo, or Whatever You Call It)

I'm in a bunch of Facebook groups about comic-books and in one, someone made a post about something they did that was absolutely hilarious. Jason Bogdanyi wrote,

"Lots and Lots of controversy around the first venom appearance. So I did something crazy to get a unicorn and original page to me. 

Ripped out a page from ASM 299 (low low grade) and sent it in hoping Todd would read my request to do a remark and well the slab now speaks for itself. 

DEBATE OVER"

As you can see in the picture, Mr. McFarlane was willing to sign his name and write, "First Venom Appearance." I mean, McFarlane has publicly said, "Amazing Spider-Man," #299 is, in his opinion, Venom's first full appearance and not a, "Cameo," or such. That said, in the same way, "Incredible Hulk," #180/#181 has many debates about Wolverine, everyone argues about this series and issue #299/#300 in regards to when Venom appears in full. I've always said an appearance is an appearance and that I don't get the whole, "Cameo versus full," debate. A video by streamer Swagglehaus discusses this new slabbed contribution to the dialogue regarding Venom's, "True," first appearance, and I reached out to Jason to get his permission to talk about this, and he told me one of his goals was to get a reaction and spark conversation. He succeeded!
