Poll: What decade did you start reading the X-Men?

1991, I believe. Around Uncanny #275, still one of my favorite issues, great Jim Lee art

90s. Shortly after the premiere of TAS. Sold after that.

"Peak" of all things X I suppose, with the Pizza Hut promotions, the 2nd comic came out, the cartoon started, the arcade game (which of course used more 80s characters like Dazzler)

I was one of those kids who swooned over what a badass that Wolverine was

WHen it was revealed he always had bone claws I almost had a heart attack from plot overload[/QUOTE]

I remember those days... with the comic books they'd give away with action figures and personal pan pizzas...

[QUOTE=leoseek;3109079]I started in 1975 with the Giant sized issue. Quit in the mid-late 80's.[/QUOTE]

wait... you stopped reading X-Men [I][B]THIRTY [/B][/I]years ago?

I was in 7th grade in 1992 i think I picked up on a spinner rack at a 7-Eleven in the middle of x-cutioner's song crossover. It had stryfe on the cover and I was so lost figuring out what the hell was going on. It was either x-men #15 or uncanny #296. Talk about a great jumping on point huh?

However I kept reading x-men and uncanny though I liked uncanny more because of the gold team and it had colossus on the team my favorite. Though I read x-men for primarily Psylocke because puberty had reared it's ugly head and im embarassed to admit that. Though when I went to high school I started trying to find back issues and when my hometown finally got a comic shop I was able to start reading entire runs.

Aw don't be sorry. Fiction characters (lots of them, males and females, mainly from comics) have been my fetish as far back as I can remember, since I was a little child. I don't think it's a big deal. Usually.
