Sauce Dog Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 While I have been collecting for most of my life it was only about 2 years ago that I actually got ahold (CGC 7.5 red label for $20) of Uncanny X-Men #142 - a favourite cover / story of mine (from alternate reprints and TPB) and realized it was published in the same month/year of my birthday! I think everyone has such an issue - out of all the comics that were published in your birthday month/year which do you relate to the most and think represents you and your collection the best? and do you OWN a copy of it? I'm not sure if this sort of thing has ever been done/posted but kinda interesting to me. Like I mentioned above, here is my birthday issue: February 1981! You can easily find out yours by checking this page out. Comic books by month/year Flanders82 1
mickhavoc-migration Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Great topic. We're so close in birthdays - I had to look mine up. Your title is great, but now that I know this fun fact, I have to have this issue..maybe two. January 1981:
Sauce Dog Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Great topic. We're so close in birthdays - I had to look mine up. Your title is great, but now that I know this fun fact, I have to have this issue..maybe two. January 1981: That's a great issue to have regardless of birthday! (Though admittedly I don't own an original copy of 141 yet. I bring great shame to my dynasty! I must fix this at once!)
Hibou Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I think there was a simliar thread in one of the sub-forums. At any rate, there were a bunch of books published in November of '69 but I consider this one my b-day book.
PennyCentury-migration Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) How fun! This actually came out the day before my birthday, which is October 2,1983. Wonder Woman was my first Halloween costume, and I have early memories of watching reruns of the show in the kids room at my parents gym. Today I have her symbol on my phone, so I guess I should hunt this issue down. Edited July 21, 2013 by PennyCentury
BarryAllen Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Favorite from the year. Edited July 21, 2013 by rfoiii
David-Lance Roten Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Captain America #122 Feb 1970 Looking for a nice ungraded copy also. Slide that in there
DeliBebek Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I don't own this one. (and of course, I have to point out, this wasn't published or released in my birth month, but about three months prior to its cover date, as most comic books were back in the 20th century.)
HeroX Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 X-Men 120, first Alpha Flight (cameo), and I do own it.
deadleg Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) This was also probably one of the first books my brother ever read to me. It helped to bring me into the world of comics. Of course I own it. Edited July 21, 2013 by deadleg
ciorac Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 My two favorite comic characters represented during the month of my birth Larryw7, PopKulture and Senormac 3
FlyingDonut Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I think there was a simliar thread in one of the sub-forums. At any rate, there were a bunch of books published in November of '69 but I consider this one my b-day book. For about the 12,000th time, that book was not published in November, 1969. That book was published/onsale in August, 1969. If you want the Spider-Man book that was on sale in November, 1969, you'd need to buy Spider-Man 81. This book, for example, has a cover date of December, 1969, yet has a date stamp received of October 29. I'm not sure why this doesn't compute for people.
