Your 1 Grail
4 4

120 posts in this topic

Similar to @ESeffinga I don't have one piece above all others. But I do have about a dozen that would be a crown jewel if I had the chance get just one.   Pieces that are completely unobtainable I just don't bother contemplating. But a piece that is a 'possibility' (waiting for the Jim Carey gif) if i sold a percentage of my current collection are always on the periphery.

I think I have my grail .

Superman by Curt Swan, Comic Art

I can't imagine a page or commission that I would trade for this one.

 

That said, I'd love to find the splash to my first comic (JLA 29, 1st series)

or the cover to that issue

or one of the best Legion of Super-Heroes group shots.

If I had to pick just one, it would be the Uncanny X-Men #172 cover.  It's the issue that started my journey down the rabbit hole of comics.

My top 7 would look something like this:

1. Uncanny X-Men #172 cover

2.  X-Men #94 cover

3.  Daredevil #181 cover

4.  Conan #24 cover

5.  ASM #122 cover

6.  Secret Wars #1 cover

7.  Thor #339 cover

Honorable mentions:  ASM #98, 121 & 252 covers, Uncanny X-Men #173 & 176 covers, Marvel Feature v. 2 #1 cover

I'm constantly impressed by the number of people that can recall their first comic.

For me it's easy, I can recall the general issue area & stories. But if I look at my comics, they're the ones I bought off the stands and not back issues with a price stamp.

For my self, I know it was a Spider-man comic, but I have no idea which one. It was at a barbershop that I went to for some of my earliest haircuts, so not something I took home with me. But even then, I can't bring to mind the first issue I owned.
