Regarding Guy Debord

What would you recommend i read before reading Society of the spectacle by Guy Debord? Are there any specific Marx texts i should read first?
Also, which of Marxs texts are the most important to have read before getting in to critical theory and the Frankfurt School authors?

Guy Debord was a humanist marxist in the vein of the young Lukacs- or what can be called Hegelian Marxism-  and thus the most important text of Marx regarding "society of the spectacle" is the economic and philosophic manuscripts of 1844. Debord references not only Marx but also Lukacs's "history and class consciousness" and Hegel and Feuerbach heavily in his works.
