Show us a comic from the month you were born

[goldust40]

October 1968 was definitely a vintage month........ here's a book that came out the month I was born, 5 years earlier..........

 

 

Not too shabby a month either......

 

Cool book (and month). This WOULD have been my month if I was born on time but I came out two weeks late, thus making me an FF #20 baby.

 

Interesting how many Forumites were born in late '63 or thereabouts. A vintage time for future comic enthusiasts.........

Agreed! $575 for that fugly POS? What did Stan do to that poor book, anyway?

Alright, lets go back a bit to find a cool cover from May.

A beauty!!

As something a little off the wall.

 

I cheerish Amazing Spidey 75 because it was produced in my birth month.

What makes this even more strange is that the book is about a crime boss "Silvermane"

that searches for the fountain of youth because he is feeble with age. He finds it in the

potion from an ancient encrypted tablet -unfortunately the potion works too well and pushed him into a state before infancy into non-existance.

 

This in turn has me stratching my head wondering if I am Silvermane incarnate??

 

Who knows? (chime in - Twilight Zone theme)

 

 

 

 

Another zainy thing that I have been known to do is give a High grade B'day comic to my friends children as a side gift at their kids baby shower.

 

I get weird looks...

 

 

But I think it's cool anyway.

October 1978, Fantastic Four #199.

 

Just 5 days off from #200, the 200th anniversary issue featuring Dr. Doom. Sorry guys, I have NO clue how to post pics on this board.

Cool story nerf. I also gave my brother a birth-month comic to try to give him a little nostalgia, it was an Amazing Spidey #23 or #24, whichever is the one from 5/1965. At Wondercon coming up I have to find a Harvey or Archie from 4/1961 to give my wife. I also think birth-month comics make great gifts. Hey, better than a Life magazine or newspaper from that time in my opinion.

Yea, no doubt - rather than a magazine, a comic has a nice sense of timeless quality

that helps us remember the innocence of our youth.

 

And that in and of itself helps us to remain young at heart-

even if we look like a bunch of old farts!

Doesn't really work for me. There weren't a lot of good storylines in 1978.

Funny you should mention sacks of dope...

 

Depending on who you talk to, this book was created in the summer of 1971. Some believe it got underway sometime in June of that year, which is the month I was born, and if you look closely at the tail of the plane, you will find your sacks of dope nerfherder:

May, 1950. Although I didn't get this book until I was well into my 30s, it was my holy grail for many years, and I still break it out of the vault once in a while to read it.

I like this one:

 

My Birthday is July 12, 1965. Nothing cooler than an issue that is from your month/ year and has the correct "day" issue number!

I also like that it is the first appearance of one of the coolest villains marvel ever made in the Juggernaut.

I like it!
