Comic From The Month You Were Born... Handy Chart

[Montezuma]

You beat me by a month, so at this point your still the oldest.

[Karma23]

Fantasic Four #17!

Man, I'm gettin old

Cool book though

[adambraunart-migration]

YEAH!

[Crows]

ASM 85

[BRNebraska]

 

So something like JLA #1 gets left out because it's cover dated Oct/Nov.? I'd put issues like that in there for the first month of the date, in place of Superman Annual 1.

 

Yeah, and Giant-Size X-Men (Summer) for July of '75

[grandz-migration]

We've got us a bunch of wipper-snappers here.

 

At least I get a #1 issue - Richie Rich # 1.

 

I was not aware that ASM came out so rapidly in the beginning.

[MutantKeys]

 

 

Well, at least I don't feel so bad about mine now.

What a krappy birthday book

 

 

What?

No love for Charles Vess. That's a cool cover.

It's a shame that there isn't an X-Men for MK in that month.

 

I was just going according to the list... here is my X-Men birthday book

 

[Paratrooper]

Damn mine's a X-Men #104......no taste in 1977 apparantly...

[seank]

ASM 5 for me. I'm another Doom baby.

 

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!

[DrWatson]

Damn mine's a X-Men #104......no taste in 1977 apparantly...

Wow, you look old to be only thirty-one.

[Aman619]

Ever wonder about the most popular book submitted to CGC

with a cover date from the month you were born?

Or the month you graduated high school?

Or the month you were married?

Or the month your kids were born?

 

Wonder no more... just use this handy reference chart...

another fascinating effort Greg!

 

I saw that it got increasingly SpiderManish for a long period!

and that many are the biggest books released each month, but, not always due to scarcity etc. For instance, Showcase 4 didnt "win" its month!

[Bavin-migration]

Amazing Fantasy 15

wish my dad had picked up a couple of copies for my birthday

[moloch]

Definitely a cool chart (ASM 90 for me) and now it has me wanting to get a book with my birthday datestamped on it. I was born on a Saturday - does anyone know offhand if that is a good or bad day for arrival dates?

[Paratrooper]

Wow, you look old to be only thirty-one.

 

I think that's a compliment...not really sure.

 

you need to work on your insults.

No, it's not a compliment. Just think... all those brain cells lost... to alcohol.

Those were the weak ones, unfit to go on. The strong survivors are the important ones.

That's true... a similar chart with "highest value" would be interesting,

but since that's not part of the CGC Census, I don't have that data handy.

 

 

It should be noted that anyone looking for a comic that has a "date stamp"

or was actually "on the shelf" the day they were born would need to look about

two months into the "past" for the appropriate comic. Comic dates (like magazines)

are usually "in the future"... so a cover date may say "January 1970",

but it was probably released (on sale) in November 1969, or even as early as September.
