The first ever comic you bought (have you still got it?)

[kiltman]

This is the first ever comic i bought. I was looking in an oxfam charity book shop and there was a comic box in the back corner. I had a rifle through them and found this little comic. Bought it for 20p. If i could go back i ntiem i would have bought all the comics

 

 

I don't know why i bought it. Nothing special.

 

What was the first comic you ever bought, where, when and why? (pictures please)

[goldust40]

Christ!!! You bought that comic and it induced you to continue collecting?? Unbelievable. If that'd been the first comic I ever bought, I'd've assumed the medium was a load of cak and waved it goodbye.

Liek i said it doesnt make sense. But then i found marvel and dc. I like image, top cow etc but Marvel and DC remain my two favourites. The only reason i actually still have that comic is because it was the first one i ever bought.

What a crappy very first comic to own.

 

The first one I ever read was a Marvel Tales issue reprinting ASM #43. But the first comic I ever bought on my own ... I was walking through an Osco Drug store with my mom, I think I was about 12, and saw X-Men #6 (the Jim Lee series) on the shelf. I said "Holy there's a new X-Men series?"

 

And that was that. I found the nearest comic shop, bought back issues of #1-5 for prices that were way to high, and subscribed to the series for two years. Now I'm trying to catch up on the entire run. Nearly complete.

 

Back in those days (early 90's) the only series I read religiously were X-Men and Spawn. I may have picked up the occasional ASM back then, or picked up #1's and #0's by speculation. Those days are gone and I have found the joy in other characters like DC books, Cap, and Iron Man.

Well probably some of the first books I owned were Swamp Thing or something I can recall when I was 8. When I was 10 I started to really colect and I'd say FF#195 (Sub-Mariner) and Iron Man, FF books from the same date were my first purchases.

wolverine #50 signed by stan lee with COA, but i didn't really buy that, it was a birthday present from my uncle, so first one i bought, wolverine #50 and 51 same day heh, don't own either, they were in a long box full of 80's stuff mostly and my house was burglarized when i was 12 or so i am pretty sure.

[howardhallis]

Here's mine:

SEE THE COVER

 

 

I don't have the one I got back when it came out, but picked it up again later at a convention for a few bucks.

[skybolt]

My cousin gave me around 40 beat-up bronze age Marvels back in 1980 to get me started. The first book I purchased was X-Men #138. I still have all of them.

[rjpb]

You all make me feel very old- mine was probably a Sad Sack or Richie Rich book back in the mid-sixties. It did not occur to me to keep it.

[s-man]

UXM #172...yes

[Larryw7]

The first hazy memories of comics for me are a Silver Age Batman with Bats and Robin in some kind of drowning trap, and also the B&B Batman/Flash issue by Adams. I also have a pic of me when I was around four years old with a goofy grin, holding a copy of a late SA Justice League.

[Wally's Comics]

ASM # 147

 

My Ma paid a quarter fer it, and opened up a whole new world for me...

 

 

[Norrin_Radd]
