Impossible to pin down the first issue, but it would have been this weekly…

This was my first. I don't remember how I got it (probably my Dad).

A Batman issue from the early 80s. I'm sure it was drawn by Gene Colan, but I don't know what issue it was.

The first comic I remember buying was an old issue of Iron Man. I forget the issue number but he was on the cover in the red and gold armor fighting the Spymaster who had nun chuks, I believe. The cover just looked so cool, I had to have it. I remember buying the book at a little soda shop in Rawdon, Quebec when I was vacationing with family.
Didn't buy any other comics regularly until Amazing Spider-Man #229. The cover looked cool and it was the first time I started buying comics on a regular basis. Amazing Spider-Man led me to start getting Spectacular and eventually, my first comic store, The Comic Universe in Folson, PA.

It has to be DEFINITIVELY between these two comics, same month, same year...the FF was given to me by my grandmother, out of the blue. This set the stage for a hair-cut (I didn't want) and my grandfather walking me over to a 7-11 next door for a soda or something, and then my spotting the "funny books" as he called them, where I picked up the Hulk one. Age: somewhere between six and seven.

As a kid I had comics here and there. Batman, Calvin and Hobbes, Ninja Turtles, Disney stuff, all at random.
I'd attribute becoming an actual fan or collector or whathaveyou to this issue though in 7th grade! This was kinda the 'start of it all'!
Worked backward and forward from there.

Can't believe how easy it was to find an image of this, which I bought off the stands at age 6 in 1971. At the time, pure magic, cover to cover.

Can't find images of what I remember but as a toddler, I would get "Magic" which was a comic which you would rub a pencil over and the art would magically appear and "Toby". Why I can find no reference to these I have no idea.
First US comic work I ever saw was in here
Fantastic Four and Spidey - Lee, Kirby and Ditko.
