What's your oldest, first printing (and not in trade form) comic that you own?

Mine was until recently Fantastic Four #150 (Quicksilver & Crystal's wedding which is crashed by Ultron) but I recently got Amazing Spider-Man #66 featuring Mysterio.

I used to own Avengers #9: The Coming of Wonder Man. I let a "friend" look after my collection and he pinched them.

amazing spider-man vol 1 #36.

ArachnidAvenger · 10-20-2009, 01:52 PM

I could've bought a copy Amazing Spider-Man #8 with no cover and several pages missing for 10 cents but I didn't. Dumb move looking back on it. I don't know what the oldest book I actually have is though.

Dr Strange 169 (1968)

The Champions - all 17 issues (1975)

There may be a few more from the late 70's but I think those are the oldest I have in my collection.

If I go with outside Marvel it would be Justice League of America #1 (1960)

Avengers #21, the introduction of Power Man (not Luke Cage). The lower right corner of the cover is torn off and the pages are yellowing. One of the first comics that I ever owned was a reprint of this issue (Marvel Triple Action #15), but I eventually managed to find the original for cheap at a garage sale.

X-Men #10, the first Silver Age appearance of Ka-Zar. This is followed closely by X-Men #13, second appearance of the Juggernaut.

I have a Daredevil issue 4.

Global Honored · 10-20-2009, 03:00 PM

Not sure. I have some old Strange Tales that featured Steranko's Fury and Doc Strange. I may have a Kirby Strange Tales from just before Steranko came on too.

Giant-Size Superheroes #1, June 1974.

The Confessor · 10-20-2009, 03:07 PM

Mine would be Marvel Tales Annual #1 from 1965.

If we're talking outside of Marvel, it would be Dick Tracy: Popped Wheat Giveaway #1 from 1947.

That Dick Tracy one is awesome!

I don't think it's possible to look any manlier than Fury does on that cover.

He needs a beer in that one hand.

I don't remember the issue # but I own a spec issue dated oct 1984, the date I was born. I think I may have one or two older than that though.
