What Comic Characters Did You Dress Up As For Halloween While Growing Up?

[NewEnglandGothic]

With Halloween coming, I was wondering if any boardies dressed up as their favorite comic characters growing up while trick 'r treating and had some pics they might want to share.

 

...and do you still dress up to some extent or just the kiddies.

 

For me...

 

My first year in 1975: I was a cat(probably why I am a cat lover now, ).

1976: I was Andy from Raggedy Ann and Andy(where those dolls or cartoons, ).

1977: I guess I inherited my sisters costume, so I was Snoopy(comic strip/comic).

1978: I was Spiderman.

1979: I was The Hulk(my mask broke though).

1980: I was Godzilla(Marvel licensed).

1981: I was Darth Vader(gotta love Marvel Comics licensing).

1982: I was The Thing(not the John Carpenter one from that year).

1983: I was terrorist(with untied shoelaces).

1984: I was Dracula(Another Marvel guy).

1985: I was Dr. Who(Jon Pertwee Doctor).

1986: I was Dr. Who again(Technically, Marvel did the Tom Baker version).

My final year in 1987: I was Sledge Hammer.

In 1991 (first grade!) I was Batman. My Bat-belt broke and I cried the whole day because of it.

 

Around 1998 I was Sailor Neptune.

 

Around 2008 I was Batgirl.

 

This year I don't know what I'm going to dress up as.

[Silent Master]

Awesome dude!

 

I think I had a Spiderman costume one year...

 

(but I did own Superman, Batman, and Robin under-roos!!!! )

[LloydJBailey]

Those pictures are just awesome. I wish I had pictures docmenting all my Halloween costumes!!

[nocutename]

Those are great!

 

When I was younger my mom made our costumes. One year I was Wonder Woman and my sister was Batgirl. I just showed them to my neices but they were not impressed. I don't post pics on the internet so sorry for the lack of pictures.

[Aaronius]

I was Batman a couple times. Nice Godzilla costume!

[VintageComics]

I didn't.

 

My parents threw out my comics every chance they could. The one time I dressed up, I went to school for Hallowe'en once as the Hulk but the ripped pajamas I wore were see-through and the kids made fun of my polka dot underwear the entire day at school.

 

Thanks for posting those pics and making me weep like a chafing DiceX.

I was a charcter from gforce then a Monk, which the next year I turned into a Jawa. Then I was a Ghostbuster and even had a remote controlled ghost I made out of an RC.

 

I cant remember what else I was.

[DiceX]

I didn't.

I only chaff because I don't wear polka dot underwear, pansy.

 

 

[ashrael]

I was Spider-Man as a kid

[mrmitchgro]

My only memorable costume was Yoda when I was about 3.

 

Awesome I looked!

[the420kid]

Gumby ...some lady asked me if i was the green blob

[bstevenscomics-migration]

Cool thread.

 

Let's see...comic characters?

 

Batman and Superman. The Superman costume came with a mask like the Lone Ranger would have worn. I refused to wear it. After all, Supes didn't wear a mask. Why should I?

 

Others...Spock from Star Trek and (remember this one?) Scott Tracy from the British kids sci-fi show Thunderbirds.

[ThreeSeas]

My first costume (from back in the 60's) was as Spider-Man. I will have to dig through the old photo albums and see if I can find the picture sometime.

Pictures?

[Larryw7]

My memory is getting foggy, but I know I was Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and the Phantom for Halloween when I was very young(via either the Ben Cooper or Collegeville costumes). When I was around 9, I started to prefer dressing as one of the Universal Monsters for Halloween instead of as a superhero so I got cheap knockoffs of the Frankenstein and Wolfman masks advertised in Famous Monsters(I could never afford the expensive Don Post masks, which I really wanted when I was a kid).

[HeroDreamer]

I dressed up as Bullseye last year when I was 29 and really just because I was an uncreative bald guy with a goatee. So, that's a comic character and if I'm doing it at 29 then I guess I'm technically still growing up

[JazzMan]

I was Spider-Man almost every year...and I didn't even collect Spider-Man when I was a kid.

[Icculus308win]

Spider-Man

Snake Eyes

Batman

Indiana Jones (he was in a series or two, that counts right? )

TMNT

[bryan91]

Great pictures Jerel!

 

I couldn't remember what all I dressed up as besides a Chicago Bears football player.

 

My son has dressed up as Spiderman and Superman.

 

We have yet to pick out costumes for this year, but my youngest daughter already said she wants to be Supergirl. My wife is not agreeing with that so much. She wants her to be something cute.
