What was your first Comic Book?

[samurainoir]

I believe that mine was an issue of Spidey Super Stories featuring Spiderman battling The Jester (I was sad to see him eat Punisher bullets in Civil War).

[Comic Book Geek]

Hard to say. Probably someone picked up one of the Harvey Toons issues for me. I remember having a stack of Richie Rich, Little Lu Lu, Dot, Baby Huey and I think some Uncle Scrooge McDuck. The first ones I remember loving were Spider-man, Werewolf by Night and Batman. Specific issues my memory's too vague. It was years before I could read, but I can remember studying the pictures and thinking that Spider-man was the best thing ever invented.

Either a Tom & Jerry or Frankenstein comic. Can't remember for certain.

It was a Bugs Bunny Comic in 1969 I remember it to this day a stewardess from Pan American airlines gave me a stack of comics before take off. I remember thanking her as we were leaving.

Avengers King Size Special 1 and Metamorpho 9 are the first ones I read. They were hand me downs from a older cousin that I got in the early 70's. First one I bought was Marvel's Godzilla 1 and still have it.

Moon Knight #3 "Midnight means Murder"...I can remember my dad reading this too me as a bedtime story

[The Toyroom]

I'm assuming it was a Batman or a Detective because of my early kindergarten love of the '66 show in reruns. Casper and Archie were also in reading line-up at that time too, primarily because of cartoon association. Curiously, I remember a coverless Jimmy Olsen comic where he thought he was a Viking...anyone know which one this is?

You and I are long-lost brothers.

My first comic purchase was Archie, but the comics I remember LOVING to read were Spiderman and Werewolf by Night. I just purchased WBN #1 the other day - love the Ploog art!!!

I think it was Little Lulu. The first (and only) Super Hero comic I owned was a giant issue (and I don't mean thick, I mean tall) Action Comics " The Bat-Man" (w/ other stories). I think this was the origin of Batman. I remember not liking it much, since it didn't have Robin and was nothing like the 60's series, (which was my first exposure to Batman). I also remember there was another story in it called "Spy" where some bad guy was putting these poison pellets in high ranking officials foods and killing them. Interesting story; I liked it better than "The Bat-Man".

the first comics i every had was either a casper or hotstuff[the little devil kid] the first book i pick out myself was batman 251 i saw it at a 7-eleven and had to haveit since i loved the adam west batman series and also liked the joker i was five or six at the time

[Earth 2 Chris]

I may, and probably did, have Archies before this, but the first comic I actually recall looking at on the stands, and wanting was the 1978 Batman Spectacular (I believe it was DC Special Series #17). The Marshal Rogers cover called to me. I may have had Batman comics bought for me before this even, but this was the first comic I recall NEEDING. I still have my dog-earred copy, and I picked up a mint one years later.

The first comic I remember getting was a Batman, I was a huge fan of the TV show and although I can't say what issue it was, it would have been from that era.

[toys2cool]

How did you manage to keep them so prestine? Mine are all coverless, falling off the staples, folded and dog-eared.
