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.

I remember one about the negative zone, and the Fantastic Four.

I was so impressed with Reed Richards.
I read OMAC and enjoyed Kirby's style.
Metal Men fighting Chemo.
Gyro Screwloose and Scrooge and the Nephews all trying to eat this growing green jello or pudding.
I guess if I had to pick a comic that I read from the start that I really cared about it'd be New Mutants. Typical story, had em all from issue 1, and they got thrown out. (not by me...) I loved the New Mutants characters. Cannonball rocked. I still read the New Mutants special 2-parter where they were kidnapped to Asguard.
I still have a copy of Web of Spider Man #1 and Spectacular Spider Man #100, and I'll pass them on to my sons or maybe my grandson.
I also have the Collected Omaha, but it'll be another 20 years before those get handed down. That series really impressed me too. :-) ;-)
