Going into my grandmas basement and finding out my dad still had comic books from when he was a kid in a filing cabinet down in her basement when I was 9. No loner remember what they all were but lost them being a dumb young kid and my dad is 67 to give an idea of the comics that would have been down there.

My first time actually reading a comic was in 5th grade. They had a stack of issues in the front office featuring Spider-Man and the FF teaming up. It ended up being about the importance of fire safety and I haven’t been able to track it down since.

The first comic I ever picked up was the Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told Vol. 1 tpb after seeing Batman Returns in theaters. Fun fact: the comic shop in question was Collectors Comics off of highway 1 im Port St Lucie, FL and it is still there to this day, despite all of the upheavals that the comic industries and retailers have gone through over the past few decades, that store is still alive and kicking.

Walking by an endcap of new releases as a kid in Walmart and seeing Spirits of Vengeance #6 *Spirits of Venom part 4* with Venom upside-down in the sewer, and thinking "I have no idea what this is but I'm in". Comics journey started that day and jumped me into Spider-Man.

My first comic memory was going to my friend's house and seeing the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man on his bed. Three volumes later, I was forever changed 😁

My first comic experience was when I was 11 years old in Chicago, I lived close to the Brickyard Mall and about a block up the street before the CTA stop, my first comic shop... One-Stop comics. In that shop I learned about Rob Liefeld and how a teenager was making a living drawing comic books. My first X-team was X-Force, but then I discovered Peter David and Larry Strohman's X-Factor. Around the same time, I jumped on Spider-Man because of the cartoon and there I fell in love with Venom!

My first comic memory was sitting at my parents house and suddenly Batman: The Animated Series comes on tv. The episode was Robin’s Reckoning: Part 1 and I was just enthralled with what I was seeing. I just thought it was an original cartoon series when I first saw it. The next day at school, we had a book fair and as I’m roaming around, looking at some books, I see a copy of Batman The Court of Owls and I didn’t know he was also a comic book character. After reading the first volume of Court of Owls I became a fan

My dad took me to go see the very first iron man, and right before he took me to this small comic book store. At the front of the shop, they had that one spider man comic with Obama on the cover and he picked it up for me. First time seeing a comic book movie in theaters, first comic shop I ever visited, and first comic in my collection all in one day.

The first comic i ever owned was a he-man superman crossover that came with an action figure 2 pack of them both. I wish I still had it because it was way nicer than it had any right to be 😂

Christmas 92, sleeping over at my grandparents’ home and reading my cousin’s copy of the first issue of the Death of Superman and thinking Doomsday was the coolest thing 9 year old me had ever seen.

Galahad’s Comics

My dad let me read his copy of X-men #1 by Claremont and Lee after I watched the animated series in 92’. After that I was hooked!

My dad got semi into comics during the 90s boom and collected the 1994 Spiderman and X-men cards and I remember flipping through his card cases imagining how cool all the characters and storylines that weren't in the cartoons must be. The art on some of those cards was really striking the Sauron and Mojo ones in particular scared the crap out of me.

Reading a black and white mini comic of New Teen Titans #1-3 and it ending on a cliffhanger. with the team captured.
