Wow,you must be a quick learner

That's what I was thinking about the people who were 6 or 7. I must have been slow.

[innocuous]

Before 10, but I can't remember. I know I started collecting at about 11 or 12, with a stack of Archies first.

 

But, the first comic I remember reading with Superman vs Ali

[oakman29]

My first recollection was Beetle Bailey,Casper and Sgt. Rock. I was totally into war comics,maybe 6 or 7 years old.I think once I finish with my Amazing spidey run(17 left) I will start collecting Our Army at War and Sgt. Rock

[eddly]

As soon as I learned to read, before that my dad would read them to me. Asterix

[Jeffro.]

Don't know exactly when I started reading comics, but it probably would have been in the early/mid 70's, probably around 5-7 years old.

[The_Captain]

I was about 5 or 6 and loved that little black mouse with those big ears.

 

I guess that might have been one the reasons, that when my parents once left for 2 days and my granny was taking care of me and my little brother, I went to a pet-shop and got home with a mouse. Ohhhhhh....Speedy

 

That was around 1991

[zuckuss2003]

I want to say I was 10 or 11. Started with Conan, Avengers, Uncanny X-men, and GI Joe.

Quite

 

The question didn't specify if we were reading well at the time. I certainly wasn't, but my first comic was in 1965 at the age of three. It was a simple Casper like comic in Japan, very easy, even for a three year old to follow along as my Mom read it to me. I have a brother two years older than I am, and he also read comics, so it was a family thing

[davidpg]

I had some before, but I started really reading Uncanny X_Men at age 9 with UXM 163.

 

I still have my copy...

[The Silver-Age]

3 years old. And I knew to take care of them cause they would be collectible. If only I had money back then, what I could have bought for a couple bucks....
