I must add that though I read comics sporadically through out the 60s, there is one comic that changed everything. After that I became an avid comic fan, reader and collector. There is a defining line before and after this book for me.  You, sir, are a man of great taste. |

But... but... That was published, like, two years ago, right? Right? WHERE HAS MY LIFE GONE???  Everytime I feel old, a thread like this one really helps me out. Nice to be the baby of this community 😆 Hey, if YOU'RE the baby, then what are Pharozonk and I? The fetuses? The embryos? :-P (I actually really like Uncanny X-Men #275. The contrast between the Savage Land and Shi'ar stories was nice, the team line-up had a fun dynamic, and Magneto made a convincing return to villainy.) Anyway, my first comic was not too far off from that in terms of time; Transformers #26. I liked it more for the funeral for Optimus Prime than for the featured villain, who was not a Decepticon, but rather a human with mad engineering skills. But they soon made up for it by having Trypticon fight the Dinobots. |

My first DC comic would've been Batman Pocketbook #1, which was a 100 page, digest-sized reprint comic from 1979...  I was already familiar with Batman and Superman from re-runs of the 1966 Batman TV show, the George Reeves Superman TV show, the Christopher Reeve Superman movie and the Super-Friends cartoon. But in terms of actually reading a DC comic, this was it. |

That may be my favorite Bronze Age issue of Superman, largely because of the exquisite Garcia-Lopez art. S for my first DC comic, I can't recall a specific issue, as I was already looking at comics before I learned to read at age 3. The first DC I remember adding to my little collection, though, was Batman Annual #7 starring The Batman Family. Cei-U! I summon the surprising admission from a die-hard Swan fan! |

I was a little kid in the very early 1980s so I dont remember exactly what my "first" Marvel Comics comic was.
I was pretty much reading whatever was around at the time from Conan, Groo, Alpha Flight, Power Pack, Red Sonja movie adaptation and Iron Man which i do remember having an issue of Iron Man back then but I dont remember what exact issue it was. All I remember was that I used scissors to cut out characters from the issue of Iron man. Dont ask me why I did that when I was a little kid. All little kids do weird stuff like that even in the 1980s

One of the earliest Marvel comics I read was this issue of Marvel Comics Presents which I still own. I remember picking it up because it had Wolverine on the cover and it made me want to read more comics featuring the X-Men. Today I still love the front and back covers.  The first Spider-Man comics I read were Marvel Tales reprints of Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5 and Amazing Spider-Man #252   The first actual X-Men comics I read were also reprints of Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men run.  My introduction to Avengers comics was actually an issue of West Coast Avengers.  I was confused the first time I read a Fantastic Four comic because Ben Grimm wasn't The Thing like he was in the old cartoons.  |

Anyone else who got into comics in the 80's (or later) envious of the members who's first comics were classic Silver and Bronze Age issues? Showcase #22? Conan #1? Rub it in why don't you!  I have this fear now that I'm going to learn that my first comic was Crystar or something... |
