What Was Your 1st comic? - Page 3

This was the first comic I ever remember owning and reading. The only thing I remember is that my dad gave it to me. It was, and still is, in a carded plastic sleeve. I remember being maybe 5 or 6 and treating the thing with way more care than a small child should whenever I took it out of the sleeve.

I don't remember picking up comic books myself, but I do recall having a ton of Spider-Man comics from the early 90's. However, I very distinctly remember the first two comics I bought with my own money. I remember buying them on the same day in the comic store across the street from my house when I was maybe 9 or 10.

The very first TMNT comic I got was actually this one. I found it buried in a local comic shop just before they closed down at least 10 years ago. Although I did have a bunch of Archie TMNT comics when I was younger, I never owned any Mirage stuff until I was in high school.

Quite right, Usagi! I salute you.

I guess my recollection was slightly off on the latter. Robin is not technically in the "scene". Still, not bad for a comic I haven't looked at in probably over five years.

I'm rather shocked that you were able to find those so quickly and with such a vague description on my part.

Logan,

I've always been a BATMAN reader, and those issues stick out in my mind mainly because Norm Breyfogle did the art... and I started reading the comics a few years before those issues came out... so I was at that impressionable age where all that stuff sticks with you
