Oldest Comic in Your Collection That You Bought Brand New!

[aszumilo]

The oldest comic I ever bought when it was released was also the very first one I ever bought. It started me in collecting.

 

 

 

[dupont2005]

I don't keep good enough track but I have some 12 cent covers

[DiceX]

First comic I ever bought.

 

 

 

[Gatchaman]

I believe it was Uncanny X-Men #141.

 

[Ken Aldred]

Avengers 120, in 1974.

 

British pence variant.

[Chespirito]

A set of mini fairy tale books from 1919-1930... Got it for Christmas from Cheeta

[goldust40]

 

First book I remember purchasing. Must've read it ten times, and I've been hooked ever since...

[Theagenes]

One of the 1977 Batman Pizza Hut give-a-ways. I probably had older ones that were given to me, but that's first one I remember getting new.

[Reader101-migration]

Batman #150 (1962) Purchased in the summer during an Oregon beach vacation.

 

Sure it's beat up good, but it's worth a lot to me!

[ss5rmp]

in terms of when the comic came out it would have to be showcase 8 or worlds finest comics 88...not sure which came out first...

 

if your talking about the comic ive owned the longest it would probably be xmen adventures 1. my dad knew i liked the cartoon and went to a comic shop and bought it for me. it was my very first comic

[DeliBebek]

The issue below and Marvel Tales 137 mark the beginning of my collection, those which I paid for with my own money and still have.

 

 

[s-man]

Mine would be X-Men 172

 

I bought it with change from buying my parents cigarettes (remember when you could still do that as a kid?)

[G.A.tor]

1973 bought silver surfer #1 (but since it was released 5 years earlier it doesn't count as "month released". So it would be a star trek gold key issue from summer of 73. Still have the silver surfer to this day. Sold the star trek long ago

I think the OP needs to change the thread title to read "Oldest comic you bought brand new" or something similar to add some clarity here.

 

Cool topic but I think people are still missing the subtlety of the ask!

opps

[Marty Mann]

Done...thanks!

[Dr. Balls]

This is the only one I actually bought when it came out that ever survived my collection-wide massive sell-offs:

 

 

It's practically worthless in value, but priceless in terms of story quality.

 

I think the first books I bought with my allowance money were Daredevils - around the issue 180 range. The first books my mom bought for me were Roms and Battlestar Galacticas.

[TupennyConan]

Very possibly Tales to Astonish 5 (1979) or Fantasy Masterpieces 4 (1979). I was 9 yrs old. I still have both.

1st comic I ever bought with my own money was Batman #103 in 1956 I believe. Bought it off the spinner rack in a Walgreens in Chicago. Still have the book and had it graded by CGC and they gave it a grade of 9.2. The book is still in my collection.
