Are you referring to Human Torch Comics #5a or Human Torch Comics #5b? Because I've looked and there is no listed appearances of death in those issues (I should know, I've read both issues and added the details on those pages) so I'm not sure where you are getting that.

And let's not forget weird war tales number 1! Or is that a guy on the cover?

Actually we can because forget that because Weird War Tales is a DC Comics book, this is the Marvel Comics Wiki. Different companies = Different fictional universes = Different version of Death.

And here we go some more! Strange tales 13 first series death on the cover... Related? Obviously an appearance... Which one?

The appearance in is not necessarily a canonical appearance in the Marvel Universe. While some sci-fi and horror stories are considered part of the Earth-616 universe, not all of them are.

Since the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe doesn't reference the appearance in Strange Tales #13 in any of it's recent publications, Marvel has likely decided that that is not a canonical version of Death most commonly seen on Earth-616. As far as what is considered the first appearance of Death, we go by what the Handbooks reference whenever possible.

The most recent profile for Death was the softcover reprint of which was published in February of 2012. That edition included relevant updates and corrections, and it still lists as the first appearance. Since the researchers at Marvel are very well aware of or have access to all published Marvel works (Including that issue of Strange Tales) the reason why it wasn't added is because it's not considered cannon.

Before you decide to waste anymore of my time, please do some research before you bombard an admin with questions. You could have easily answered this yourself if you took 30 seconds to actually do some research. This is some pretty basic information.

Also if you must message me again, please try to use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation, otherwise I'm not going to respond.
