What comic books did you enjoy as a child (or even more recently) ?

This was my favorite. They used to be available on the rack by the door of virtually every 7-11.

I started out with Batman. A friend introduced me to Superman comics (I knew about Superman, of course, through the 1950's television show.). And then I bought my first Justice League of America comic, and I was hooked on DC comics for a while.

During that time I also liked the early Marvel Comics, before they introduced superheroes . "Tales to Astonish" and other Marvel titles had stories of monsters, aliens, etc. I bought one of the earliest comics featuring the Hulk -- when the character was actually gray! They decided to make him green later on when they decided to make him a regular character with his own comic book.

When I was a little older, I made a new circle of friends who were into the Marvel superheroes, and I started buying Fantastic Four, Spiderman, and others instead of the DC ones.
@DrWatson I got some of the X-men comics, but that was later, in my early 20s.

@bijouxbroussard I liked the X-men as well. I remember the originals, way before Wolverine! (You probably do as well.)

By the way, I managed to confuse myself in responding to your post. I saw a notification for it in my feed, but for some reason I thought you were responding to someone else's post. So I commented briefly about Ghosts, and then I gave a longer answer to the OP, without noticing it was you!

And it gets worse! After I gave my second comment, I saw my first one and wondered "why isn't that attached to her comment on the post? Did I mess up?" So I started scrolling to search for your comment, and I couldn't find it (of course!) I wondered, "did she delete it? did the OP delete it?"

Then I took another look at who made the post! 🤣
