What did you lose your comic book virginity to?

[Wighty03]

Just wanted to know. Thought it would be fun to see why people like comic books and why they started reading them.

Sooooo Shoot Away!!!!

How is this defined? Like the first speech bubble I read, the first title, etc?

[Marvel/DC Fan]

Geez, kind of a weird question. I guess I lost my virginity to Sgt. Rock at age 6.

[TickTock]

Ultimate Spider-Man. Found volume 2 at Walmart, thinking it was some encyclopedia thing, fell in love. And still reading it! Can't wait for Miles' new book to start.

I had to be about eight or nine when I read a Power Pack/Spider-Man comic that dealt with molestation.

That's difficult to pin-point exactly. My grandparents owned a 7-11 during the comic boom, so I was reading everything that I could off the magazine rack. If I'm not mistaken, I distinctly remember an issue of Wolverine that Spider-Man guest-starred in as well as Wendigo, with them hunting a child-murderer that ended up being a police officer. It's ends with a pretty epic silhouette of the guy being gutted after running through the woods. I should do research into which issue that was. I was probably around 5 when it came out, and the cover had fallen off, so that's why I have only vague story recollections.

Even more so, the Death of Superman and Knightfall events sucked me in as well. I also had sporadic issues of Robin, which were probably my favorite, since I was young and projected myself onto Tim. I never really wanted to be Batman. I always wanted to work along side him, so that was the perfect kid fantasy.

All this was perpetuated by the barrage of comic-based TV reruns and new shows that I obsessively watched: The Reeve Superman films, Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk, Adam West Batman, Superboy, The Flash, Lois and Clark etc. But the pinnacle of the life-long love of the genre was probably cemented with the first Burton Batman film, which came out when I was 3. I surprisingly didn't get into the cartoons of the time (Spider-Man, X-Men and Batman TAS) until later in life, as I preferred live action. Didn't matter how cheesy it may have looked. It was all so engrossing for my young mind.
