The old black and whites of Conan, Doc Savage and Creepy (?).

X-men actually.

Used to read alot of issues here and there from different series when i was younger

but the first series that i actually followed was Sonic the Hedgehog from Archie Comics.

Read a few stories here and there out of general pop culture interest in some characters, but reading All Star Superman in high school is what got me interested in comics in general and Superman in particular.

The first comic I ever read was Silver Surfer. I don't recall the exact issue because it was thirty-odd years ago (late 80s), but that was my first comic. The first series I was grabbed by was Uncanny X-Men. I had read some Surfer and Avengers, sure, but once I got in to X-Men, I was hooked.

X-Men and Spider-Man.

Can’t recall what my first issue I ever had was but one of the earliest i can remember was DC Presents #97

This got me into comic books...

YouTube video

I remember every morning, me, my mom and sisters use to rush into the living room to watch this. I thought Wolverine was the most powerful being in existence and my family couldnt stand it. They watched the show primarily to see Wolverine get beat up, even though they thought the show was great as well. My moms isnt even a comic person but she respected that show. It was just that good. Then I went online, googled Wolverine vs Superman and it lead me here. You all can send a thank you to the writer of that cartoon at any time for bringing me into your lives. 😂

Kirby's New Gods, The Question, Adam Strange for DC..Thor/Hulk and Surfer for Marvel. I had tons of comics to choose from though since my older relatives collected them.

Adam West Batman reruns on Family Channel when I was 4.

Then the Spider-Man/Storm/Luke Cage stop smoking ashcan when I was in Kindergarten.

Super Grover from Sesame street was my favorite muppet.

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.

The 80s Ninja Turtles cartoon.

That superhero episode of Muppet Babies. where they do that Ride of the Valkyries parody.

Batman Animated Series/X-Men TAS etc

I remember getting those Toys R Us comic bundles. got the Erik Larsen Revenge of the Sinister Six Storyline and Knightfall.

mhmm

When I was a kid, I used to read my older cousins' (pre-crisis) DC comics, which I could take or leave.

Then, a little older, I discovered Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Thor, Silver Surfer, all under Marvel's/Stan Lee's superior storytelling and (mostly) drawn by Jack 'King' Kirby. This actually inspired me to create my own characters and draw my own comics (albeit, derivative, eg, the 'Golden Glider', long before there was a Lisa Snart).

OP asks for comic issues/series we have READ.

Carver comes in with a cartoon 👆 Reading is for chumps - a motto that has lasted him to this very day.

Mainly Spider-Man in the early 90s, my grandma bought my the Torment event of Spider-Man by McFarlane, I couldn't even read at that point 😂 a few Batman comics too and later Spawn.

Overall TV shows originally introduced my into comic characters like the 80s Spider-Man series and Spider-Man and his amazing Friends then in the 90s the Spider-Man series, X-Men and Batman. Also the Lou Ferrigno Hulk show.

This is the issue that got me permanently reading/buying comics but it was reading an old Green Lateran issue that sparked my interest...i recall reciting his mantra when I was about 10-lol

In that note, my first foray on comic book cartoon was when Magneto got tricked by Reed with his wooden gun. As kid, I was like damn that guy is smart.

Then I watched it again a few weeks ago on YouTube, I couldn’t stop laughing on how stupid it was.
