First Marvel Issue

[sirmarkus]

What's everyone's first Marvel comic? That one issue that made you step up and start collecting/reading?

Mine was Generation X #11(from the 90's series). I just loved this book until a storyline in the late thirties or early forties that just made me put it down. I can't even remember much of the details other than being turned off by a combination of week story and art for a couple months running. But this one, this one drew me in. I still love Chamber.

Marvel Zombies 4 #3.

I had only read a few X-men issues at the library before, but that was my first comic. Saw the preview for it and had to have it despite knowing very little about the characters.

Uncanny X-Men #174

For a Marvel comic in general it was Star Wars issue 17. For a comic set in the actual Marvel U it was Uncanny X-Men issue 166.

I think my first comic was Avengers Dissassembled tpb, turkish translation.

Had no idea what was going on, took a few issues and editor notes to help clear things up.

I got a bunch of Power Pack, Dazzler, Beauty and the Beast, Dakota North and Cloak & Dagger comics at about the same time, so I'm not 100% sure which was my first Marvel. Most of them were from polybagged 3-packs from drugstores, so they were back issues.

I'm thinking this one...

And then I let my friend borrow it and he tore the cover. Never again.

So that's why there's no picture of a cover?

Hmm it was either an issue of Micronaughts, Rom or the Pirate Kitty Xmen story.

I can't be sure, but I think it was X-Men Adventures #1, the comic book that was based on the animated series.

I can't remember the cover for the life of me. It was a daredevil story where Matt was on boat going to Japan and was attacked by ninjas. Ever since that issue i have been a big daredevil fan and collector.

My first Marvel issue was an early Spiderman one though I can't remember the exact issue. It had belonged to my uncle and I think the cover might have been missing. The first Marvel book that started me off collecting them was Transformers #5 with that awesome Shockwave cover and I ended up going through the back issue bins for the previous four issues of that one the very next week. My first mainline Marvel book was New Mutants #1 after hearing a friend of mine praising the issue. (Just for clarification this was back in the 80s.)
