    Probably Amazing Spider-Man #1. Last I checked it might actually be doable.
    But I'd want to reaquire the early part of my Spidey collection I sold off for financial reasons first. We'll see. Crazy thing is I could have had. back when I in the eight grade I remember a dealer selling it for $100 or $200 maybe at a comic show my dad brought me to in NY. My Dad wouldn't buy it for me, because as I would learn later we wanted to get it for me for my birthday. He didn't realize you couldn't walk into any shop and pick it up. I found this out when he gave me th emoney instead for my birthday and told me the story.

    Well an obvious choice I guess but I'd say Amazing Fantasy #15, it's a great story and fantastic cover art (you can't go wrong with a book that's got Kirby AND Ditko).

    Other less obvious choices would be Tales of Suspense #1, Tales To Astonish #1 (I love the old sci-fi/monster, pre-super hero issues of those series!) Also, slightly more realistically attainable someday I guess would be a 9.0 or up graded copy of G.I. Joe #1 (1982)

    As long as we are wishing on a star, I'd just want to get the comics I was duped out of when I was 8 (1975). An older friend talked me into selling my old comics to a book store that had just started to carry back issues. He told me I could get $$$ and at the time it sounded good. I took a full brown paper shopping bag up and was talked into letting them go for $20.
    there were a lot of cool comics in that bag I still remember my Uncle reading with me. The best Ive been able to do is pick a few up here or there if I remember the story or the cover. my most recent buy backs were a story of Batman and Superman in a German WW2 detention camp and a Captain America where Falcon turned into a Wolf man. I had forgotten them for years. It's weird how just seeing a cover triggers so much.

    Ditko!! Or rather, Ditto!!...LOL!!

    I too would actually probably rather drop the big bucks on original art. I often find myself visiting romitaman.com and contemplating selling all of my toys...

    Action 1, Marvel Mystery 1 and Detective 27 are the natural answers because of their value, but if I could have just one golden-age book, it would be All-Star Comics 36. It's the issue where Superman and Batman guest star with the JSA. I've only seen the book in person once. $400 was too much for me even to think about at the time.

    Batman 47 is another cool story. It's a retelling of Batman's origin where he tracks down Joe Chill, his parents' murderer. It's my favorite golden-age Batman story.

    Superman 53 retells Superman's origin and its around his 10th anniversary is a cool comic it. I had it before, but I sold when I sold off of my collection in the early 1990s

    Detective 27 would be cool. I owned all the Marvel keys many years back so first Batman.

    most likely the least valuable comic mentioned here but i've always like cover of x-men 100 old vs new. i'm sure i could find a nice copy for less then $15 but i spent money on toys instead.

    I am all about Showcase #22. I almost had it once. But the deal went bad. **sigh** One day. One day.

    That would be my choice as well.

    I also would prefer to own some original Art...by a certain Artist.

    But if I had to pick one Comic(and Money was no object)...it would of course have to be "Detective#27".
