Donny B Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This may not have been my first comic ever, but it's the first one I remember buying in a store with my own money. It seemed like such a cool thing to a 6 year old wandering around a grocery store (this was before I even knew that comic shops were a thing), and it stayed cool in my mind until I went back and read it again as an adult and realized that it's nothing like what I remembered As for the first comic series I ever followed: This was my first purchase from a comic shop, and it jump started my life long fondness for Spiderman, as well as my interest in extremely detailed comic art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I cant remember the first comic specifically...but I know it was more then likely a Punisher comic. I do however remember hunting this one down at a LCS early on. actually it may have been this. From an NES game called "Werewolf - The last Warrior" it came packed with a mini-comic.

boyd Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My first comic was probably a Gold Key Disney or Looney Toons that I got in the hospital when I broke my arm. But the first comic that really cemented my love for them was this one: When I was eight, a neighbor kid was selling magazines door to door for a school fundraiser. He was selling comic subscriptions, and my parents gave me the choice of either getting Spider-Man or Hulk. I went with Spidey, and a few months later, this issue came in the mail. It was the second part of a two-part story. Maybe a decade later I found and bought the first part of the story. Really helped the issue make more sense.

TENIME_art Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This was my first comic book ever, a hand-me-down from my older brother, I think. I wasn't even a year old when it was originally published, lol. He, on the other hand, would have been almost 14:Shortly after getting that, X-Men The Animated Series came on the air, and I started watching it (I was 10). So, asking my parents for another comic book, but one with those characters in it, this was my second comic book ever:Followed immediately by collecting these cards with my friends, who were also obsessed with the cartoon: Those were my introduction into this wonderful and complicated (and wonderfully complicated) world. I pretty much just stuck with X-books & Spider-Man for years and years before branching out to other titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm pretty sure this was my first comic. It's been a while: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That was one of the first comics I owned, as I mostly read my mother's old Archies. This was the first Marvel comic I READ, and it was my father's. And this was the first Marvel comic I BOUGHT, although I later got into X-Men at the start of Lee's run: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Completely unrelated to anything but this is the first comic I remember buying. From the other thread. This cover was drawn by Frank Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This was the first Marvel comic I READ, and it was my father's. That's probably my favorite story arc from the Animated Series. Man-Spider FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I got this one in a multi-pack at Toys R Us back in the day (probably early 1990s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 That could be where mine came from too, I know I had 397-399 and I'm sure my parents wouldn't have picked up 399 if they could see the cover: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Yep, that one was also included in that set. Looks like this was it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/121533187453?rmvSB=true Edited January 8, 2015 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 My first comic was actually a bunch of Hulk and Spiderman from the early 70's. I remember which one I first set eyes on if that counts. My first subscription was also a gift from my Dad. He liked Thor and so did I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I cant remember my first comics, but I remember heavily getting into xmen because of the cartoon and having a buttload of the jim lee xmen run and other Xbooks. I also had/have all the dan ketch ghost riders, blade and the night stalkers books. The maximum carnage and siege of darkness stories were a big thing for me too though they came much later. I think I learned about more characters from the trading cards at the time than other sources. https://brainstomping.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/x-men-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The trading cards were, for me, a cautionary tale against reading Excalibur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
