Here's my oldest comic book dated Feb '67. Thanks to many Marvel Tales reprints I've recently completed my Amazing Spider-Man collection (Am. Fantasy 15 - reprint - til today).

I once traded a Grand Funk Railroad album for Avengers #s 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15. Was that wrong?

" My comic is that old it's still a tree!"
********
Hm...I'm pretty sure that makes your comic extremely young, not old! =0)
Also just to chime in and encourage more postings....I love this thread! Keep it up! These obscure, Golden Age comics are really fun to see!

Bought this in Evansville, IN, when I was last there, way back in...97 I think. They had just gotten in a laaaarge collection of old Marvel stuff, and this was probably the most expensive title I could buy without blowing out my bank account!

I love the glaring colour simplification on Hulk #1 so much. The Mary Marvel cover in the first post's pretty cool too.

Guys, you don't play that game with me.
I inherited a couple family heirloons that belonged to my greatgrandfather.
Two Rudolph Topffer editions from the 19th century.
The one which is dated is a Histoire de M. Vieux Bois (known on the US as Obadiah Oldbuck), from 1860. Yes, that is the correct date.
It's an edition done by Topffer's son (the author was long dead by then) in Paris. Fairly common even today.
The other one is the really scary one. Another book from Topffer, Histoire de M. Crépin. And it's SIGNED! On pencil.
If that's the real, bonafide first edition (and I'm not sure, it may have been one signed by Topffer's son), it hails from 1837! I do believe it's not, though. It's probably another reprint done by his son on 1860.
Regardless, I do have a couple of comics here a quarter millenia old! They are old and beat up (the harcovers and a few pages are loose, the paper is brittle at the edges), so much that I don't have courage to actually read them, but it IS quite amazing!
My mom still has an old Caran d'Ache cartoon book from the same vintage at home. That one is in excellent condition, but it's not comics. Topffer's books are!

Grand Funk Railroad album for Avengers #s 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15. ***** What, no #4? Still an amazing good deal, as long as "We're An American Band" wasn't one of the tracks.

Still an amazing good deal, as long as "We're An American Band" wasn't one of the tracks. It was Grand Funk Railroad Live - predates "We're An American Band". As for the other early issues of Avengers - I paid a nickel each for #s 1, 3 and 7. I doubt I paid more than a few bucks for #'s 2 and 4. One of the few perks of getting old means that you were able to buy these books on the cheap way back when.
