What Was Your 1st comic?
 
Hi all, I am not sure if a thread like this has been made or not,but what was the very first comic you ever read? For me it was Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles Adventures#34. I had just learned to read a few months ago at that point and the series helped me learn beyond the basics. It was my first comic and I picked it up every month after I first discovered i. Itt is still probably my favorite comic to this day. Did any of you discover comics with a Ninja Turtles comic?:tcool:

The Real Ghostbusters, vol. 1 #11

Donnie 01-07-2012 07:45 PM

Almost positive it was an Archie TMNT issue.

Metropoliskid41 01-07-2012 08:45 PM

Mine was a Star Wars X-Wing Rogue Squadron comic that came in a box of Apple Jacks when I was 5 or 6, that was the beginning of my massive comic addiction. Man cereal boxes don't do promotions like they used to anymore (save for DC's recent mini comics in General Mills, but that was a rare exception to the rule).

This is the first one I distinctly remember owning. I got it at a 7-11 of all places.

TMNT Adventures #6. Before that, maybe Fat Freddy's Cat.

First one I remember owning was this:

Mickey Mouse #225, April 1987, at a Higbee's drugstore. Still have it, too.

And I wish I still had it. The cover blew my mind and the story made me want to buy the rest of the issues involved. Arthur Adams did the art, so that was a big bonus.

rufus 01-08-2012 01:34 PM

It was either Mirage tmnt #19 or Image tmnt #4

Raph's Girl 01-08-2012 01:40 PM

I honestly don't remember what my first comic was. It was an Archie comic tho.... Probably a Double Digest...

Zany Orange Dude 01-09-2012 05:36 PM

I don't remember which one exactly it was but I know it was one of Archie's Sonic The Hedgehog comics.

Sadly, I don't own it anymore :( I gave away all of my Archie TMNT comics when I got to "that age". I've gone back and gotten alot of the ones I used to have, but that particular issue has evaded me, sadly.



BTW, I love TMNT Adventures Special #8. Lots of fond memories with that issue.

I don't care about Pokemon anymore, but I'd love to find these old books.

Powder 02-02-2012 07:04 PM

I had those Pokemon books, they're neat. Easily found on ebay, usually. My first comic was TMNT (Archie) #22.

Kalel 02-02-2012 07:07 PM

My first was an old 80s spiderman comic. I still have it too! I should probably reread it. I have no idea what happened in it. Haha

Redeemer 02-02-2012 09:38 PM

My first comic book that I ever owned was a box of comic books that my cousin gave me. The first I ever bought was IDW TMNT 2 2nd printing.
I jst got into comics, really wish I read comics when I was younger

It's amazing you stuck with comic collecting after that!

Spoiler:
Just kidding, I have come to appreciate Milton Knight... to an extent.

I have that one, it's crazy. I wish there were more in that style though, I really liked it.

I really can't recall my first TMNT comic. It was probably one of the Adventures, I found a HUGE stack of them at this used book store, mostly early issues. It was great.

Only 10p! It went up to 25p later on. Top stuff!

愛 02-03-2012 10:49 AM

This was my first one, though I was not into comic books at that time.

Sequential art wise it was Garfield.
Actual comic book wise, it was this badboy right here:

That Simpsons comic reminds me of another famous cover. Spiderman? I have a feeling it has had a homage before on All Hail Megatron.

[incidently this comic introduced my young fragile mind to bachelor parties as well :teek:]

You are correct, my good man. Amazing Spider-Man #50.

Falconhood 02-19-2012 07:03 PM

not sure, but one of the earliest i recall loving and carrying to 2nd grade daily was Metal Men, with Green Lantern in it, and on the front Platinum is walking out of Doc's office saying that she QUITS.
I also recall Avengers (179?) where the gov't takes over and cuts the team to 7 members.
I vaguely recall a Super Friends issue.
I know the fave comics i first started collecting as a complete series were Micronauts and ROM.
wow, reading thru y'alls' posts makes me realize i am the oldest person here.

UsagiYojimbo 02-19-2012 07:20 PM

Nice! I still have the black-bagged version of that which my father gave me for Christmas in 1992.

I don't recognize any of the covers that preceded it, so that may have been the first issue ever.

The first Turtles issue I ever saw was this one:

I remember my buddy Mikey let me borrow it. Ahh, the 80's :D

joe-eyeball 02-19-2012 08:53 PM

Hard to say for sure but it was probably either an original Transformers comic or one that came with the MOTU figures in the early 80's.

If we're counting those, that'd actually make mine a Super Powers figure's. Probably The Flash...

Logan 02-19-2012 09:33 PM

I don't know the issue number off-hand and it was technically my brother's (although why he had any comics confused me), but I distinctly remember these two issues of Batman.

One had the Joker on the cover. He was sitting in a chair, in the dark. All you could see were his pants, gloved hands, and green hair.

The other one had the close-up of a guy who looked like he was exploding vomit through all facial orifices with Batman and Robin in the background watching in terror.

These two?

It was my uncle's and he gave it to me when he found out I liked the toys. My mom was kinda pissed when she saw how violent it was, but I thought it was the coolest thing on earth. It's pretty beat up from reading it so much, but I still have it.
