Web of spiderman 17 i bought at the local circle k.

[MagnetoWasRight]

I'm guessing my Tales to Astonish 27 is one of the oldest I own.

[marvelcollector]

FF 124 I think...

[KirbyJack]

Probably Single Series #1, from 1938. I have older non-comics stuff, like Bringing Up Father #2, from 1919 (I think).

[50 CENT LONG BOX]

Sweet cover caught my eye!

Keep in mind that the topic is the oldest book you personally purchased the month it was released. I didn't notice this at first.

Can't quite recall if I bought this myself or had someone buy it for me given my young age, but pretty sure this could be the first one:

That would be Spidey 200 for me (I also got 198 & 199 on the same trip, but only because they hadn't been returned to the distributer).

So you don't believe I was born in 1904? Sheesh, everyone's a cynic...

 

Seriously, I didn't catch that either, sorry all. My real answer to this is a 75 cent cover Fantastic Four, as I sold the comics of my youth while I was in High school.

Toss up between these three in the summer of 1966.

 

 

 

 

Good times.

[Bio-Rupp]

Parents bought me comics all thru childhood. Richie Rich, Casper, Archie etc.

 

First comic I purchased off the rack in the summer of '81 and the book that started me collecting... yep Star Wars # 51

 

Still have it right here

The earliest memory I have is buying a twenty cent Detective in or around 1974.

[TheLiamSturgess]

Oldest comic I own is Reggie #2, 1950.
