This series was significant as it was Marvel's first published limited series.[1] Contest of Champions brought forth the idea of a major event affecting the Marvel Universe; it introduced crossovers before the concept of multi-title crossovers was even conceived.[citation needed]
An unrelated five issue limited series published in 1999, Contest of Champions II, is a sequel in title only.[2]
