Not my copy.

 

It’s the comicbook that started it all for me. My parents got it for me when I was three-and-a-bit years old, and turned me into a lifelong X-Men fan as a result.

this one is the earliest I recognize. I was 7 at the time.

First comic for me was Transformers #1, 2 and 3 from a 3 pack. I was 11 or 12 at the time as I don't recall exactly when I got it. But I do remember getting it at a grocery store. Still have my copy too.

 

 

 

My first superhero comic was Iron Man #208 from '86. Bought it at a gas station near my home, seeing the missiles and a guy in armor on the cover and thinking "this looks cool, I better get it." If I remember correctly shell head was fighting AIM in this issue. That gas station became my comics go to that summer, until I found a comic book shop in the next town over. Not a lot of comic shops in Iowa back in the 80s. Collected steadily from then up till 1999.

My dad bought me comics all the time (because he like to read them too) but this was the first comic I bought with my own allowance in the 3rd grade.

My dad came home one day from Price Club with a bulk pack of DC comics. This is one of the first ones I remember opening:

My dad bought me old Yang, Peacemaker, and Atlas Comics from the 70s as a young kid in the early 80s. I thought they were at the time.

 

Now I look back and I treasure them. Been looking for NM Yang 1 copy for awhile now.

Do you guys collect those comics? I have been purchasing newer copies of those I remember reading as a child. Every time I see one in the wild that I'd forgotten all about it brings back memories.. I seriously get goosebumps.. Its like reuniting with an old friend

[catrick339]

It's a tossup between X-Men 1 and Fantastic Four 22

 

I remembered both of them pretty much panel-for-panel when I bought them again as an adult.

 

There's a Fox and Crow story that I STILL haven't found again that I remember almost as well.

I get some here & there, it's always a totally nostalgic experience and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Flash 123 first time mixing the old with the new one of the best DC's of that period.

I have a page original art from this issue, which was a cool Christmas gift from my parents in the late 90s. Never read the actual book, but it's my first page of original art!

[Gatchaman]

Around 1982 I bought one of these when I was in High School in F+ condition for $10.

All Star 13 - gift from my dad when I was home sick in Sept 1942.

[KirbyJack]

Fantastic Four 93 was the first comic I ever laid eyes on.

I was four years old.

There is an old DC that I remember having some time around the mid-1970s, It is a Superman comic and I'm positive (I think I am, may be misremembering) that it had Superman carring Lois Lane in a wedding dress. It should be a 25c comic, but I have gone over all the DC covers I can think of (Action,Adventure,Superman, Worlds Finest,, Superman Family) and I can't seem to find the cover I'm looking for. I would love to pick up a copy of the comic in question. Anyone have any ideas? It is not Action 484 btw. Possible a splash page?
