I have Phantom Stranger #1 from 1952. His 1st appearance.

[Nostalgiabuff]

not really sure, I have a few of the Gold Key Star Treks, but I think my oldest is a Brave and the Bold from 1964? First appearance of Eclipso. I also have the first silver age appearance of the Riddler in Batman.

[jw1991]

Amazing Spider Man #1 (1963) in very, very, very bad condition that I purchased in 1996.

My oldest is All Select Comics #9 from Sept. 1945. I'm a fan of cover artist Alex Schomburg, and he did a nice Capt. America/Human Torch cover for this issue. Unfortunately it has a big corner piece missing at the top of the cover, but at least it doesn't affect the Schomburg art.

I sold the vast majority of my comics about 15 years ago, but I hung on to the handful of Golden Age comics I have at least.

Just Fantastic Four #13 (1962..). It was a must have for me, just for the cover alone.

Wow I'm envious of you guys with all the Golden Age stuff!

I've owned alot of older comics over the years but most of them are gone now. I think the oldest one I still have in my possession is Tales To Astonish #19 May 1961. It was one of the first Silver Age issues I owned as a young collector so I made sure to hold onto this one. Great art in it, too!

I have a fairly tattered platinum age Mutt & Jeff Cartoons Book #6 from 1919 (which are surprisingly affordable, considering the age). I think my earliest Golden Age book is a Captain Marvel book (1935?) with him stuck on an island like Robinson Caruso.

You guys have some amazing comics - I wish I could afford me some Alex Schomburg - amazing! I have one Mac Raboy Captian Marvel Jr. and it's got a bunch of Moth holes in the cover!
