He apparently didn’t listen to editors because he did this one 9 issues prior.  Either that or Stan Lee also didn’t know that spiders have eight legs.  This is plausible considering Lee’s theories on radiation.

I'm always surprised at those missed details, like Perez and/or Marcos' [Marcos's?] 8 legged ants on Avengers 161

I'm going to send these in next month.  Wish me luck.

Best of luck. Of the restos you posted, I can live with the Avengers #1. Mine's a coverless SS.

I got art. These first two were sold off years ago.

These Fantastic Four pages are keepers, and real cornerstones of my collection.

Yeah, you gotta keep those

One of the first Marvel comics I bought off the rack in 1968.  Still have it.  Like my handicap, I was under 10.

 

[KirbyJack]

How could a kid not buy FF73?

It's pretty easy to join.  All you need to do is post a scan or picture of your very first Jack Kirby comic and how old you were when you got it.  After that I was hoping people would post weird and random Kirby things from their collections.  I'll start.  Mine was Eternals #14 and my parents bought it for me when I was four years old.

13.  Bought some weird comics from buddy.  I was a DC superman guy.  this was in there.  the art kinda freaked me out to be honest.

Here’s some older stuff; I had to have a S&K Cap

 

…even tho I already owned a Marvel Mystery 17. Same cover date as Captain America #1, and contains this!

(along with the S&K Vision story, of course)

Cap 6 is a good one to own if you love Kirby and can only afford a non key. It begins the awesome 2 page S&K center spreads seen in 6-10.

Clearly it’s Kirby annoyed by Vince Colletta’s inking technique, and having a thinly-disguised go at him.

I’m never prepared for Leo outside of the lounge.

My oldest Kirby book.  Not actually a comic, even if there is a 1 page Human Torch story in it.  Simon & Kirby did the interior illustrations other than the Torch page:

[OtherEric]

The Torch page is obviously not Simon-Kirby, but I figured people would still find it interesting.

I think Demon #12 was the first that I remember I was 7 and either my mom or dad got it for me at the IGA or the old Ben Franklins 

I have a pic of #13 so that will have to do

but these are some of my favorites

I would have been 6
