What is my prize for the most classic first comic in this thread?  It's from 2006, does it count as classic?  |

Don't know specifically which one it was but the first memories I have of comic book stories would be:
- the Flash issue where Flash fights Gorilla Grodd for the 3rd or 4th time, and in the backup Kid Flash meets Silver Mask
- one of the early Tales Of The Bizarro World strips from Adventure Comics
- Superman fighting Titano
That's why for me the nostalgic Supes artist is not Swan or Plastino but Wayne Boring

First book I can recall buying was PPTSS #32...I remember hunting through long boxes that day and pulling up several and this was the first I had found. Still love the cover to this day and in general, this entire series was always a lot of fun (yes, even Razorback and the Hyno Hustler!)  As for the first book I bought new at the time it came out, well this is a rarity since I usually and a back issue guy. But I got hungry for comics and there was this cottagy place we would stop at during out summer vacation to the cottage (a good 4-4.5 hour drive is in need of a comic or two) and I recall this being one I bought.  Finally, the first comic I ever actually owned (and that is still part of my collection) was one my babysitter gave me, Amazing Spider-Man #2 Double Trouble.I found the rest of this mini drug series which is harder than one might think for a PSA drug series in the early 90's |

Can't believe we didn't have a thread for this yet! Thanks for starting it. I was a little surprised by that as well. You're quite welcome. i find it very interesting to see what people first got for themselves and see the connections we have amongst ourselves...be it a character, a title or a company. |

The two dimes came out of my dad's pocket, but I directed the purchase. It was summer, '73 at Kresge's in Lockport, NY:

My first comics were all adaptations. Strictly speaking, I wasn't collecting comics at the time, just trying to get my hands on anything related to toys/TV shows/movies I was already interested in.    I always wanted the Star Wars one - the one on top so bad and I'm happy for you for owning that particular book. This is so freaking cool ... |

Mine was Captain America #102. I bought Sub-Mariner #2 and Doctor Strange #170 that day, too, but it was the Cap that first caught my eye.  Cei-U! I summon the Sleeper! Wait! No, I don't! Whew! That was close! |
