My first issue of X-Men. I'd never seen any of these characters before. What a cornucopia! ![](uploads/KevinHagerman/2009-12-16_210727_xmen.JPG)

Old man moment - good grief, weren't comic covers great once?

Some more "firsts". I love this thread. It has brought back a lot of fond memories of my youth. The thrill and wonder of meeting these characters has stuck with me all these years. I often wonder if (or how) today's comics illicit those kinds of feelings in today's youth. ![Bob McLeod Captain America 229 - Bob McLeod](http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/captain-america/229-17.jpg)

I think these covers show how compelling comicbook covers USED TO BE. The "pin-up" covers of today in my opinion don't even make you want to look inside. Looking through what everyone has posted has made me want to go look for issues I missed or never had. Some great, great stuff

Reprints were easier to find in my neighborhood for some reason - anyhoo I couldn't get a better intro to the FF than the classic Doom stealing the surfer's powers by Lee and Kirby... ![](uploads/EdFahey/2009-12-17_072752_June_72_II.jpg)
Also my first Spiderman and Batman ![](uploads/EdFahey/2009-12-17_072834_June_72.jpg)

My first Legion of Super-Heroes (although the insides feature the 50's/60's versions, not the '70s versions on the cover!): ![DC Treasury Edition 1974 49](http://media.mycomicshop.com/iss/300w/665/186651/5499751_1.jpg)
My first Warlord: ![Warlord 1976 1st Series DC 3](http://media.mycomicshop.com/iss/300w/303/113031/7347641_1.jpg)

I remember my teacher confiscating that issue of Superman from me, she never gave it back.

Has that Captain America #229 been included in a trade paperback?
