My grandma had one of those...without the comics. So she just stuck you in a box? Seems harsh. Isn't that what those old big cedar chests were for? No? Oh....  -M |

Mid-60s with TV21 then Dandy/Beano gag comics, then British war comics like Victor. Saw and liked super-hero comics seen on the racks and the Batman TV show but only every had a couple. Addicted from Spider-Man Comics Weekly #23, which was the 2nd issue of that run that I bought, which was about '73 I think.
Hooked through to early 90s, then quit and came back in about 2003 or 4, I think.

1966 although the 70's is my favorite decade.

1) There was a super-heroine known as Black Canary. I had once read a Brave & Bold issue about her as a child. I never forgot it. Which one? I have Showcase Presents Brave and Bold, Volume Two, and I just read the one where she disguises herself as a stewardess to help Batman thwart some kidnappers.
But she was in B and B a lot in those days.
I have read that one too! Its probably my favorite of her Brave and Bold appearances, however the one I read as a kid was #141.
It didn't have a cover on it, but I just couldn't forget the image of Black Canary in a coffin with money all over the place.
Interesting that this issue only came out about a year before I really got into comics. It must have seemed an eternity to me as a young teen.

The earliest comics I can remember having were from 1975.

December of '89. Almost 25 years.
We'll call that 1990's. And '90s comics taught me to love superheroes:
Infinity Gauntlet
Claremont/Lee X-Men
Harras/Epting Avengers

I'm the LONE VOTE in the OTHERS
I'm torn away saying in the sixties and the seventies because I just don't where to begin and frankly I have a hard time voting today.
I basically read four books - Batman, Justice League of America, Fantastic Four, and Captain America as my four books that I regularly read and sometimes I dabble in Superman/Action Comics, X-Men, Avengers (the Original Team), and Batman and the Outsiders as well. I didn't read much during that time frame - but, I just was playing the field and still today I've not declared any book/title a favorite yet.
I chuckle now and then when Marvel Comics did Godzilla and that was an amusing title as well.
