gamera_spinning's link to an EW Article about the comics that got various creators hooked, I figured I'd try to start a little LJ meme.
What was the first comic you can remember reading, or the first to make enough of an impression on you that you do remember reading it, assuming that you were reading comics as a wee little kiddie? Bonus if you can find the cover on CoverBrowser or some similar site and link it in.

I had to do some research to be sure on the primacy of this one, because I have equally old memories of Thor #261, Iron Man #98 and an issue of Conan brought home around the same time when I was six years old. But Cap #200 came out nearly a year before those others, so it must be the one I got as a birthday present in 1976. I would later read and be much more influenced by Cap #178-9 borrowed from my cousin, but the ol' Madbomb was the star attraction of the first comic I can clearly remember reading.

By older I mean in my possession.
I'm sure I do have older Disney and Warner Bros comics, but this is the comic that had the biggest impact on me buying comics. Every time I saw a new issue of GI Joe I'd get it. Mind you, I had like 12 issues total. Not too many were within 6 months of each other either.
Same with Transformers, The first 18 issues I had maybe 4 of? Then I got a subscription starting with Issue 19. It was so cool getting them in the mail!
