So I had some fun with Mike's newsstand.  There were 116 comics that came out the month I was born.  If my parents had bought one of each for me they would have laid out $13.92 ($105.37 in today's dollars).  On my 50th birthday in 2016 Marvel alone put out 252 comics (including variants) which would have cost $1,005.48.

My family actually has some fairly cool books associated with their birth dates.

My Mom was born on April 27, 1938. Published the week prior was this little known book:

Action Comics 1.jpg

 

Released on July 17, 1969, the day my brother was born:

Tales of Suspense 18 and World of Fantasy 18 always remind me of my birthday June 18th. I don’t have the World of Fantasy.

Hello all! I started chasing the Birthday comic book rabbit last year and have collected the below comics from Feb 1977. Only two key issues with one of them being a big key issue, Uncanny X-men 103 (First time Wolverine is referred to as Logan) and the big ticket key, that I don't own..., Marvel Spotlight 32 (Origin and First appearance of Spider-Woman). I'm still waiting for a good copy of one of those to come along for me to snag up.

Here is what I do own from Feb 1977 so far. 

Amazing Spider-Man 165

Spectacular Spider-Man 3 (1st App of Lightmaster)

Avengers 156

Batman 284

Captain America 206

Defenders 44

Dr Strange 21

Eternals 8

Incredible Hulk 208

Iron Man 95

Nova 6

Ms Marvel 2

Teen Titans 46

Thor 256

*Marvel Presents Guardians of the Galaxy 9

Marvel Tales (featuring Spider-Man) 76

*Marvel Team-Up (Spider-Man and Hulk) 54

Marvel Two in One (Thing and Mr Fantastic) 36

 

*These two are my favorites from my birth month because they are what prompted me to start looking for comics published in February of 1977 after buying them at a flea market then realizing later that they were books published the same month I was born. 

Thanks all

Rhett Butler
