You always remember your first...

[shadow2026]

Ok, so what was the very first comic you guys remember reading? (And I do mean READING not just OWNING ). If I remember correctly, my first was the death of superman. I'd never read comics before that and had no real interest in them, but when I heard that superman was going to die, I really wanted to find out how

 

Anyhow, what was your first?

Classic X-men 2, which I think reprinted X-men 94. So you'll see why I was hooked right away.

Defenders 14

I was collecting comic books for years but it was not until I was in my mid twenties before I decided to actually read a comic book. It was an Airboy #1 (The Eclipse series). Good book but I normally collect comics for the covers so I don’t recollect reading one since then.

Fantastic Four #105 or Captain Venture #1 bought by my mother before a family trip to the Keys....

Memory is kind of hazy from that far back. I do remember reading a story about Scrooge McDuck meeting the Phantom Blot.

Scrooge, Turok, Son of Stone and Magnus Robot Fighter were my favorites back then.

First english language book I read was wolverine limited #2... it would have been a lot cheaper if the first one had been an issue of peter the pest or something

 

...before that, I read Italian language ducks.

Stolen from my nephew an Avengers #270 which took place right before a great Masters of Evil storyline (#273-#277) that hooked me. Little did I know, but I would suffer through almost a decade of 'ing cruddy Avengers issues after that.

yeah I was in that same time frame...it was either the death of superman stuff..which it probably wasnt it is was so "collectible", but more likely Bloodshot #1 whihc came out the same day..Yes lets say Bloodshot 1 since it had someone getting their brains blowed out on the very first page. What a great first page.

Batman #316. The villain is Crazy-Quilt, an obscure recurring Golden Age character who hates Robin more than he hates Batman. I was hooked.

 

I've since made it a point to collect all of Crazy-Quilt's cover appearances, going back to the old Boy Commandos series.

Lucky Luke, Greek Comic book:p but here in the States I started reading Captain America, the first was #110 with the Hulk cover.

[Silver Surfer]

Very first one is tough to pin point but FF#195, Iron man #? and X-Men 109 seem to jump out at me. Actually the very first comics I read were probably just before that, Man-Thing and early Ghost Riders. We are going back now a few years.

My first was Daredevil 33. I think I drew or traced every picture of Daredevil in that issue. I actually still have it. I am happy to say it is still a solid poor-

[musicmeta]

It was probably a Richie Rich, Little Dot or maybe even a Yogi Bear comic. I know it wasn't a super hero book.

ASM #173...versus the Molten Man!!!

[ArAich]

Gawd...I can't even seem to remember what I had for supper yesterday...

 

Anyway...I believe my first comic that I read was either a TTA with the Hulk, A Star Spangled War Stories with a dinosaur story, or a Doctor Solar...

[burntboy]

the first documented book that i owned was detective #233 with the first appearance of Batwoman.

 

but, i'm pretty certain that i can remember reading many Atlas westerns (kid colt outlaw, the outlaw kid, etc) before that in the early fifties. i can also remember reading Plastic Man back then, as well.........

 

i also bought Showcase #4 back in the summer of 1956, but don't have any of these books anymore.

The first comic I remember reading was one of those 100-pager Justice Leagers from the early 70s (114 I think) - it reprinted the JSA/earth-3 story from issues #29 and #30, that hooked me on DC's!

[MarkBrown-migration]

Dragon's Claws #5 was the first i read all in one go.

 

before that Transformers.

[Hensley300]

ASM 181, then skip a few years and X-men 199
