Spidey collectors Your First Ever Spidey Book

[Trey Cannon]

What was your first Spider-Man book you owned . What was your first serious Spidey book you bought for Collecting

 

My First Spider-Man book was Amazing Spider-Man #238

 

The First book I bought as a serious collector was Amazing Fantasy #15

The first book I bought off the newstand was around 270. I remember going to a comic shop (late 80's) across the river in Detroit and picking up about 10 low grade Ditko/Romita books. That's when the obsession with collecting the entire run started!

The first Spider-Man book I ever owned was Amazing #151, bought for me by my parents. I still have the book today, beaten and worn from numerous readings as it was (though I did add a better copy later on).

 

The first major book I bought (once I decided to try and put the run together) was my Amazing #5, some 15 years ago, I think it's been. It was the first book I ever spent $100 or more on, which at the time, was a huge deal for me.

 

Of course, one of the few Spideys I'm missing is the AF #15. When the day comes I finally get one (I passed on a low-grade one about the same time as I bought the #5, much to my regret), I have a feeling I'm going to have that "sticker-shock" feeling again.

the first one I bought off the stands was # 100 - I was hooked for years after that

[Unca Ben]

My first was Amazing Spider-Man #24. Not sure what happened to it. Then I bought #26 and every ASM I saw on the stands after that, and never looked back. That is until that hack TV writer turned Gwen into a slut, never bought ASM after that. And never looked back.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Gotta be Spidey #330.

[Kenglo1]

My first Amazing Spider-Man bought off the stands was #181

My first serious collecting book was issue #21 from Grand Book Inc. Way back in 1979. It cost 7.00

[porcupine48]

I think the first one I got off the spinner was 260.

With the Puma on the cover?

Liked War/Ghosty books before that.( Weird War!)

#24 was the first I spent more than one hundred dollars

on.

[djpinkpanther67]

124 was the first book off the stands. #100 was the first back issue I bought when I started collecting. Cost me a whopping 75 cents.

Bought them at my first con, Newcon 75 in Boston, $5 ea

[Secret Son]

That would be ASM 50 with the big man.

[MagnetoWasRight]

ASM #252...

[Spider-Variant]

ASM #153 was the first issue I remember owning, but my older brother had several earlier issues.

 

Completed the run in 1993 and have keep current since then. I remember picking up issue 129 for $3 through back issues from Maxwell Seely.

[WEBHEAD]

Just a guess because it was so long ago. I think it was ASM #17 I still have that coverless issue because I read it so many times.

 

 

And of course I finally finished a few years ago the complete run incuding a restored AF #15

 

Of course I always have that dream of picking up the ASM #1 might have done that but can't remember.

 

WEBHEAD

[Wally's Comics]

That would be ASM 50 with the big man.

 

"The Big Man" was beaten and locked up with the enforcers in the Ditko era....

 

You're talking about Kingpin.

 

 

[Wally's Comics]

In the early 70's I remember the first comic I bought

in the summer of '75 a copy of ASM 147 for a quarter

only 25 cent and no tax.

 

 

That first clone story was one of the best BA stories to me.

 

 

[rodan57]

ASM #53 (Doctor Octopus) when I was 9. I didn't really understand it at all.

 

ASM #86 when I a teen and that hooked me.

[Annihilus]

Dad bought me #200 off the spinner rack at Osco Drug.....not only my first Spidey, but my first comic ever.

[Dick Pontoon]

ASM #153 off the rack.
