My First OA

[RichardMH-migration]

Last year I started reading comics for the first time in my life. I'm 41 and never read comics as a kid. The first comic I picked up was the TPB of Frey (Dark Horse) because I'm a big Joss Whedon fan. That book started me on a serious addiction to modern comics (not to mention a foray into comic golden/silver investing that was educational but not profitable). Since then I've come to love modern titles like Y: The last Man, DMZ, ExMachina, The Walking Dead, 100 Bullets as well as classics like Watchmen and Batman: Dark Knight Returns.

 

Anyway, in homage to my first comic I have agreed to purchase page 21 of Fray issue # 8. It's not the best example of OA, maybe its not even good, but its has a special meaning to me and I think that's what OA collecting is all about.

I too agree it's all about that special meaning a piece brings you. I just picked up my fifth page from a book that is not only modern, but not near being a key. But it's the same book that I got my first piece from. And it's from the artist that made comic books fun for me again.

Never matters what anyone else thinks... as long as the OA makes you happy, that is all that matters. Good job, welcome to the OA world.

Congratulations!. I hope someday I'll get my first OA (published, not sketches).
