a goose would be more effective due to size and orneryness

This was the first book I ever bought. I found it at a local video store in 1996 that for some reason had comics on the counter. I paid 20 for this one as well as issues 19,20. My friend let me read some of his comics and I was enthralled with secret wars. I really liked the Fantastic Four and when I saw this I just had to have it. I got it signed by Stan (since it has 6 of his characters on the cover) in 2013. So, at 16 years old I got the itch and it has been a crazy ride ever since

This was my first comic book. My dad bought it for me at 7-11. I was 9 at the time. I still have it. It's about a 2.0 now.

It was a very early FF

my father was a bus driver and brought the comics he found on the seats after he cleaned the bus home

So I was reading the story about a alien that destroyed planets and wanted to know how it ended so went to the corner store bought my first comic a FF

I think but not sure I used the money my mother had given me to buy chocolate milk from the milkman

This baby right here...

 

 

I became such a huge fan of Nightcrawler after playing the classic arcade game, I just had to own a comic book that him on the cover. I was 8 at the time and this was the only one I could afford. Btw, is it just me or does Nightcrawler's left arm seem unusually long?

I'm new to the game kind of. It was #100 and there was a line outside the mall comic book store. I just grabbed one and it all went downhill.

I can't even begin to know what my first comic was.

I think it was a Beetle Bailey or a Sgt. Rock,then again I dug Looney tunes too.

[Bronze Surfer]

The Return of the Jedi 4 Part Series from Marvel (all 4) in the early 90's. Was always a huge Star Wars fan so it was a perfect way to get into comics.

First comic overall, J:LA 34 (3-65) - http://dcindexes.com/features/database.php?site=dc&pagetype=comic&id=17349 - which I purchased off a candy store comic rack, with money I found in the street, at the age of 6. I walked the 2-3 blocks to the store with a couple of friends.

First Marvel, FF 49 (4-66) I was captivated by the cover.

[kav]

second comic i bought was a mind-blower. i didnt know enough about art to know swan was better than boring i just knew it was more real seeming.

[kav]

the funny thing about these first two comics is i can remember exactly where i was when i read it, what the weather was like and everything.

I still remember it quite clearly. My grandmother let me scratch off one of those Bingo NY Lottery tickets, and I won $4. So, I went back into the store and grabbed this book off the newsstand and a candy bar. ...No idea what led me to purchase it, but this and the JCP Marvel Value Pack I got for Christmas that year started an addiction, so it will always have a special place in my comic book heart.

I think we've done this thread a few times, but that's cool, I always enjoy this sort of thing when it comes up.

I remember the first comic I received but do not remember the first I ever bought.

 

I am pretty sure it was a GI Joe three pack that I bought at Toys R Us.

It was down to this, or Bone 1 (first print). I chose this because Gambit was on TV. Still kicking myself
