Do you still think stopping the original poll at 1960 was such a bad idea?

Of course I do!!! Why would you even ask? It simply reflects on our Modern Age.

Oh yeah - I tend to follow my own ideas and not the crowd, unlike SOME moths that tend to be attracted to the flames!

1970 or so...

Still do remember my first comic sort of...

I was all of 5 years old and was in a drug store with my grandfather.

I had to convince him to give me 15 cents to get it.

 

I think it was a Sword and Sorcery comic.

For the first few months it was mostly scary stuff, sci-fi, wierd war and anything with a dinosaur on the cover.

 

I bought my first superhero comic a little later because it had a dinosaur on the cover.

 

The first 20 cent ASM: 103

 

After that it was only marvel superheroes!

I have just gotten into comics because of my dad davidking623

[nik]

I was given my first comic in 1969, when we came over from Europe, by my dads cousin. Still remember the book, Captain America #106, been collecting ever since. That same book was the first book I have sent to CGC to get graded, came back at a 9.2

[GoodyRickles]

I still remember Picking up and Reading Avengers #93 in '71, I was about 8 1/2 Years old.

My first comic: Batman #276, June 1976 featuring "The Haunting of the Spook". Oddly enough, I was already staying up late Friday nights for a local show called "Creature Feature" which showed old classic horror flicks. Unlike the majority of the collecting public, I went from superhero to mystery/horror. I was a DC freak up to about 10 years ago, and now I'm equally addicted to both brands (Marvel/DC)!

[fazman]

Well, I'm feeling just a little old after looking at those results !! I starting reading comics in 1964. Oh well, on the bright size , I'm still younger than the few who started in 1960 !!

I'm a native NC man...maybe the show was syndicated across stations...the TV station it ran on was 12 out of a station in New Bern, NC.

 

BTW, I also was head over heels for the Foreign Anime Battle of the Planets aka Gatchaman. Seeing the original episodes unut made me realize how much Sandy Frank sliced and diced them...
