If you could own any ONE classic comic book without it breaking your bank account, what would it be? And let me clarify that I'm asking what comic you would want to own, not turn around and resell. Let's pretend that this wish has been granted by a magic djinn who has assured you that trading or selling the book will cause it to turn to dust. That ought to avert 20 replies ALL saying Action Comics #1  |

For me, it's Batman #1.  Sure, I'd like to own Detective #27 too, but Batman #1 is the beginning of the actual Batman title, the #1 title I've always wanted to own in its entirety (I have #8-10, and #110 and up, so filling in the rest would be doable), and it's also the very first appearances of Joker and Catwoman. For sheer intrinsic value, this would be my #1 choice. |

In the not quite a comic category, I would get this...  The Dec 1932 issue of Weird Tales featuring the first published Conan yarn-The Phoenix on the Sword. If I had to limit it to a comic book....it would be More Fun Comics #52 (1st Spectre) or #55 (1st Dr. Fate) -M |

Something that last time it sold (that I know of) commanded a whole $20, but is essentially impossible to find at any price.  |

Assuming it has to be a single issue I guess I'll go with My Greatest Adventure #80.

Hulk #181 for me. I almost bought a VG copy in my old LCS for $300 in 1996. Now a mid-grade copy commands a grand or two. Youch!  |

No time to hunt down a picture but owning an original All-Star #3 in reasonable condition would be a dream come true.

My Superman fandom would want nothing less than its Holy Grail, Action Comics #1.
