Bought for me by my folks.  I think I still have the Terry-Toons #2 in a box of beaters somewhere.

First comic I ever "acquired" as a kid would have been a Harvey or Archie book in the early 60's that my parents got for me.

The first book(s) I remember getting on my own with my .25 weekly allowance would have been one of these.

I can still remember seeing them and the store(s) they were found/purchased in... A local pharmacy and a local grocery store in/about 1965.

These books stand out in my mind as the "beginning" of my Marvel Comics "addiction".

Now that is fantastic!

I'm pretty sure this is one of (if not the) oldest one I have.  I'm positive it's the book that started me down the fanboy road.

Also have a copy of this that is the earliest original "floppy" of mine:

 

[Black_Adam]

Earliest comic I remember reading (I'm sure I more than likely just glanced at the pictures - I was only five). I still own it, coverless of course, and have it safely stored in a mylite2 side by side with my most valuable comics. Every time I pull it out I stare at it as proudly as Uncle Scrooge with his Number One Dime!

I haven't got the slightest clue. 

[Robot Man]

I don't remember the first one. I do remember the DC war books from about 1959. I especially liked Gunner and Sarge and Sgt. Rock. I bought the occasional Superman or Batman and a few Marvel fantasy books. One day, I spotted Spiderman #3 and I was hooked. Kept buying the Marvels every week. This is the only comic book left from my childhood collection. 

[Robot Man]

Then one day I was at the cigar store with my grandpa and spotted this. This was the first one that made me want to get them all. I guess this was the one that turned me into a "collector" It rocked my world. So different than the comic books I had been buying.

I just have to say it's very cool that we can remember the first book we purchased as a kid... Mine was Captain America #355. Went to the local comic shop with a friend of mine from school. I still have it, it's in one of my many long boxes.

This was the second comic purchase.  I was fascinated by the story of the Clark Kent robot damaging his hands and thinking up clever ways to hide them.  Little did I realize I would be doing the same thing after a blast explosion incident screwed up my hands:

I have no idea how I acquired this but this is the first comic I remember having. I was about a year and a half old when it came out, I remember it being in the back of our station wagon for road trip reading. It was not high grade.

My first 2 comics - World's Finest 192 and Super Goof 17

[Montezuma]

It's survived a few reads and trips to the tree fort. Probably still an e-bay VG

Superman stop whining-if you were starving you'd be scrawny and you look just fine.
