What were the comics you remember first starting out with?
Here are mine.
On another note does anyone have or read any of these books? The comics I was introduced to the comic world with?

The first comics I ever read were some Gold Key ones - either Disney books or ones featuring some licensed cartoon character. I don't recall any specifics.
The comic that actually hooked me on comics was the issue of SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPERHEROES that introduced Erg-1, later renamed Wildfire.My Cooking Blog!

Most of those comics you see in my links are all comics I found at Price Chopper when I was a kid, I thought it was so cool to start collecting comics, I think it was around 1987,1988, or 1989 judging by the times these comics came out.
I wonder if anyone else has any of these comics.

Very first comic I read I got from a Batman signing at Big Cheese Pizza around the time of the Tim Burton movie. It featured Batman fighting a flaming-skull-dude in a sewer, a villian who I have never seen in a Batman comic since.

Y'know that thing I said that got you offended? I was just joking.

Hmmm....I guess it was the early 80's when I started reading comics as a kid. Lots of Wonder Woman, Dazzler, Amethyst, etc. I always tried to look for comics that had cool female characters even at a young age. I did read Batman, Spiderman, and some of the other main heros back then too.

My brother and I had been playing out back, the kind of play between brothers that eventually turns into fighting, and somewhere in there my head smacked up against the back of the house, and I had to go to the hospital and get some stitches in my scalp. And while I was recuperating overnight, the first time I'd spent the night someplace my family wasn't, my mom got me these to read.
And that's where it all started.

I think this was mine. If not, a cover that looked very similar to it.

I started 'reading' comics so early that I really can't be certain, but I've narrowed it down to either Byrne's MOS#1 or an issue of Transformers. I think I was watching all the superhero cartoons before I got into the comics, but again, this is all from that "so-young-I-can't-remember-any-of-it" phase, so it's hard to say.
Edit: To answer Ite's question, I've got the JLE issues, I think that's about it.Last edited by jaguarshark; 12-12-2006 at 07:44 PM.
