My First Comic – Page 2 – Graham Crackers Comics

My First Comic by Earl G.

I first discovered comics with a Superboy issue found on a Chicago bus. Amazing Spider-Man #7 was the first Marvel to really hit me. It was issue #9 that started me collecting. Back in the day, issue numbers were meaningless. Stories had little or no continuity, and each issue could be read as you found … Read more

My First Comic with Bennett B.

My hometown in Connecticut didn’t really have a dedicated comic store, though there was one in the town over. I loved superheroes, but since I didn’t have access to any of the actual comics, most of my knowledge came from the animated TV shows of the early 90’s and—later—Wikipedia (or similar Marvel/DC online archives).

My First Comic with Nick L.

My First Comic with Alex S.

My First Comic: Connor K.

I wasn’t raised in a comics household and I didn’t have a lot of people in my life that read books let alone knew the difference between Marvel and DC.  Instead I grew up reading a lot of novels. Most of the time I had my nose in a book, mostly Science Fiction or Fantasy … Read more

My First Comic by Earl Geier

SUPERBOY #80 My first comic was a comic my sister and I found on a bus when we were going downtown with my mother. I was around five. It certainly sparked our imaginations, as I know we started asking for comics regularly after that. A number of years later, I decided I’d like to get … Read more
