| Here's mine Dateline: November 1988. I was walking through a local grocery store one day looking at the magazines on the rack to see if they had anything I wanted to read. I knelt down to see the bottom shelf and there it was, staring at me like I was the next thing on the buffet. I took it home and read it three times, I was hooked. Up to that point in my life, my only exposure to comics was G.I. Combat comics I read as a preteen. The Haunted Tank was my favorite. But I hadn't read any in years, and I think my grandmother had some Marvel Treasury books at some point, but they didn't seem to interest me then. I find it amazing that I've held onto this one through all my efforts to upgrade my collection with higher grade books.  |

@The_Curmudgeon I enjoy reading (hearing) the stories that go along with our comics.  The memories that we connect with our comics makes them even more special. |

| @Despain Thanks, I too enjoy reading about the stories that other collectors have associated with particular books in their collections. This book was purchased off the newsstand. It had a UPC sticker placed over the Spidey head. I very carefully peeled it off about 5 years after I bought it, but you can't tell it was ever there. |

| @HOGLEG Hey, I'm more than ready for the Main Man to make it to the Big Screen. I believe his film has been "in development" for years. Too bad Jason Momoa is playing Aquaman. He'd been perfect for Lobo. | ||

| @Iago19 I used to have the poster from 1988 with the red background, so cool. I wish I still had it. |

 Fathom #9 Holofoil - Not an expensive comic by any means but my all time favorite cover from Michael Turner. |

| I forgot to write in my initial post that the Copper Age (in my opinion) ranges from 1984 through 1991. The Chromium Age ranges from 1992-2004. |

 A pretty unremarkable issue, but it was the first time I ever dived into a back issue bin and took a book home. I think I was 11 or 12. I have sold my collection two previous times, and when I start again I always hunt down a copy of this book. Thank god it's a cheap one. |
