What was your first Comic Book?

[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.

My first 3 comics are proudly displayed on my wall. The only items from my childhood that survived and are still with me.

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

Well the pages have browned somewhat but I found them in an old notebook binder when I retreived what was left of my stuff at my parent's home. I think at the time I had them separate from my superhero comics because I was probably embarrassed by them or something. So when the other comics mysteriously got evaporated by world conquering aliens (or at least thrown out by my mom) they survived relatively undamaged. And they still have that old comic book scent too!!!

A copy of Superman Family which I have to this day. My mom got it for me. That hooked me and I asked for more right away.

First one i remember reading was in the barber shop X-Men #25, decades later i read #26 to find out what happened.

First one i remember buying Justice League of America #100 & 101 they had the JLA/JSA teamup looking for the 7 Soldiers of Victory. Mom ripped them up and when i tried to buy them again she sent me back in the store to swap them for something else. i got a Partridge Family and a Bobby Sherman comics which dissappeared real soon afterward.

The next comic i bought started my long time collection Green Lantern/Green Arrow 121 with ringless GL falling out of a plane with Arrow looking out the open hatch. still love that cover.
