1973, during the reprint era. The original team.
Read the first 66 issues, my uncle's comics, before Giant Size 1 came out.

I was just thinking about my earlier post, and I think I read Jo Duffy's short
story "Children of the Atom" in Marvel Novel Series #9: Marvel Superheroes
before I'd actually read a comic book featuring the second generation X-
Men.

One of the lesser reasons I stopped doing conventions (way, way, way down on the list, believe me!) is that it became so emotionally draining to have a 45 year old guy come up to my table and tell me he'd been reading my stuff "since I was a kid".Pass the Geritol!

I'm in that category, JB! Started reading your work at 9 years old, and I'm 43 now! Time flies...

My first issue was X-men #1, bought off the stands. As I recall, it came out about the same time as Avengers #1, and I much preferred the X-Men, though the Avengers fast picked up.
Now, perhaps a new thread. Can anyone remember their last issue of the X-Men? I think I hung around about through an artist or two beyond JB, then threw in the towel.

I stayed with X-Men until no. 300, but I hadn't enjoyed it since no. 200 or
so. Habits are tough to break.

I think I hung around about through an artist or two beyond JB, then threw in the towel. *** I have no idea exactly what my last issue was. In the mid-late 90s I hit that point in life where I was buying comics mostly out of habit and not really enjoying them anymore. I probably never even read a bunch of the ones i bought during that period before I just stopped. I remember reading X-Men into the low 300s or so, but don't recall much of the stories from that period. The only X-Men I've read in recent years is Hidden Years which I picked up last year after missing it when it first came out.

My first issue was X-Men 122, but soon afterwards I got my hands on #60 and "King Size #1" which had two
great Kirby stories in it. I was pretty impressed with the lot of them and when I got #138, the waltz through
X-Men history made me rabid to get every single story there was. I was young and loved the "shifting roster" while still feeling at heart that the original team was the "real"
team. I've said it before, but I think X-Men 138 had a huge impact on making this continuity-watcher want the X-
Men to grow up. Yep, John Byrne did it to me-- and it wasn't until I started reading his on-line posts that he
straightened me out. The X-Men history was presented so coherently in that issue, I took it that the
"growing up" I detected was all part of the plan and would naturally continue. I didn't consider the impact of
this notion, it sort of creeped up on me. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened this way to others.
