Upper right, that Smokey the Bear. Actually, my aunt bought it for me; I was four or five. The Thor above it is the first superhero comic I remember buying. All the rest were bought off the racks too, except Big Valley #6. That was my dad's. Only comic book he ever had, far as I know.

Given to me by my parents when I was 3 years old.

I remember the day my Grandfather let me pick these out at a yard sale,I was six.How i've held on to them with all my moms comic purging I don't know.

I think the Ghosts is still in as nice shape because I was scared of it!

Mine and many others are here:

Re-acquired copy; not the original...

Given to me by my mother when I was 4, when I first started reading; remember the book so well because I tried to read it to my new baby brother.

I think there might have been ones I had before this, I think some gold keys, but this is the only one I remember and still have. My uncle gave me it when I was like 4 or 5.

I was in the 2nd grade when this came out. I can remember not know what 'Society' meant or how to pronounce it. I have no  idea how I talked my mom in to spending 50 cents on a funny book. This is not my original. That one is long gone. Got this image off of the internet.

A group shot from an old, old thread showing my earliest books I can remember having. I still believe the Tower of Shadows was my very first comic book! 

[Lethal_Collector]

Cool thread!

While this certainly wasn't the first comic I read, it was the first one I ever owned.  I just kept bumming issues off my buddy to read.

I was a big Superman fan when I was a pre-schooler back in the early '70s, but in my earliest memories, I believe this is the first book I ever got.  Don't even remember if it was my parents or one of my uncles that got it for me.  Finally bought another copy a couple of years back.  Even came across the original art for the cover too, but the seller who owned the shop didn't want to sell it to me.

Helps explain why you're such a big fan of Charlton Comics, Jimmers, just as much as 'my' Fantastic 1 helps explain why I'm a lifelong X-Men fan.

My Dad brought this Superman Treasury home one day after work for me. But it was a few years later until I wandered into a Walden Books on my own to buy these-

And my love of Steve Ditko.

I had a quarter and went to buy some candy.  I was 8.  I spotted the comic rack and was mesmerized.  I grabbed these two babies and a red licorice.  I can still remember what the weather was like and exactly where I was when I read each one.  The action 350 I read under a dutch elm tree.  Sky overcast.  I read the adventure comics and the page where they bring up the power gem, we were driving past Jimboy's tacos:
