Pulp Secret Confessions - Part 1

The first comic book I ever read was a Richie Rich... I borrowed it from a little boy down the street who also got me into grape Bubbalicious gum! I borrowed a few Richie Rich books from him but one day he moved away without notice and I couldn't return them :(

That was really fun!

My first comic would have to be richie rich and little dot. Those were cheap and my parents picked them up for us kids. Then came Spider-Man, and I've never been the same since. :)

that was a fun video. i really miss comic books in a lot of ways. every time i go to a convention or a comic shop i get these incredible pangs. must resist urge to buy all comics... must resist...

And I can't write a complete sentence.

Sargent Rock. I just spent that last several minutes searching for information on Sargent Rock...didn't do too well.

oooh!ooh!oooh! Okay: the first comic book I ever read belonged to my best friend and involved Bat-Mite. But the fist comic book I read that actually spurred me into comic book madness was an early Marvel "graphic novel" (they don't still use that term, do they? I never liked it) called "The Aladdin Effect". It starred every major female character in the Marvel Universe and they all kicked ass! Now look what you've done. I was supposed to go to bed now I'm going to watch all these dang videos AND rifle through my old comics. Thanks a lot!

First comic book I remember reading was a Batman comic from the sixties with the Scarecrow on the cover holding Batman over a cliff. I still have it boxed and sealed in my basement.

First comic book I ever read was an issue of Action Comics featuring Superman, Jax-Ur and the jeweled mountains of Krypton - I must've been five.

i just got an IM saying "dude, i could have sworn you were the biggest comic book geek ever". nope. exposed!!!!!!

I loved hearing what everyone's first comic was. But I especially loved Irina's answer: Lenin Goes to School. HAHA!! I so want to see that one.. I can't find anything via Google. Darn.

The first comic I ever read may have actually been a book of old Popeye comic strips, or some old '70s Sgt Fury and horror and western comics (like Two Gun Kid and Jonah Hex) my dad had lying around -- but I remember nearly every panel of the first one I bought. Uncanny X-Men 179, where Kitty Pryde was forced to marry Caliban. What a comic book - to this day, I'll still pick up anything John Romita, Jr. draws.

A stroll down memory lane... :)

Oooh, fun game. My brother borrowed three trades from a friend when I was 6 or 7 in the late 80s-- The Dark Phoenix Saga, The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told, and The Dark Knight Returns. I don't remember what order I read them in, but those are the first. The first comic I ever BOUGHT was Web of Spider-Man #77 in 1991, which had Firebrand, Flash Thompson as Stilt-Man, a "Kill Crazed Morlock," and Cloak & Dagger (who promptly became my favorite characters).
