Happy National Comic Book Day! What was/is your favorite?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

I was always partial to this guy!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. I guess I'd have to say Lois Lane!

[exboyfil]

2. Legion of Super Heroes

[Anon-C]

6. Loved the Legion!

[Sancho]

3. Green Lantern

Basically, I loved the GL in the 60s...

[dameatball]

4. Liked them all. Classics Illustrated was a great series that isn't talked about much.

[Coventina]

5. I have their "Moby Dick". Gorgeous artwork! n/t

[dameatball]

18. Yes, the artwork was a cut above and also introduced many to subject matter a little

different to the average comics. (Although I loved them too).

I also remember a book series that started with "You were there with..... " or "We were there with...." with various historic figures and events. Great stuff. Our little ol elementary school library carried lots of those, to their credit.

[Anon-C]

7. Still disappointed that Iktomi doesn't have his own comic book.

[abqtommy]

8. Yesterday when I was young

my favorite comic books were the Roadrunner series. I was hooked on the dialogue written in rhyme each time!

[yellowdogintexas]

9. Little Lulu some of the wittiest dialogue ever

I loved Archie too

[First Speaker]

10. X-Men all the way...

...I still have all the original Lee-Kirby issues from the 1960s. Classic stuff. I must admit, though, that I finally left Marvel about a decade ago, when their open contempt for their old fans just got too much for me...

[malthaussen]

11. The Inferior Five

First-runner up would be Legion of Superheroes. Saturn Girl was hot, but I also had a thing for Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel.

12. My very first comic book

was of "Baby Huey". I was four years old, and came along with my father to my uncle's drug store that he just opened in East Chicago, Indiana. Dad had some very good carpentry skills, being a pattern maker in the steel mill, so Uncle Joe asked him to make some letters that spelled out "PRESCRIPTIONS" for the back wall of the pharmacy shop.

I looked at the comic book rack, and toddled over to Dad with the Baby Huey comic, and my father told me to "put that back". Uncle Joe said, "Rob, he can have that, if you'll promise to read it to him." My father OK'd that.

Later, at home, he'd point that big pattern maker finger of his at each of the words while reading it, and I managed to pick up on reading that way. By the time I got to first grade, I had graduated up to Superman and the DC Universe, and the nuns were amazed at my reading skills.

I'm glad I got a chance five years ago to recount the story to Uncle Joe before he passed away, he gave me a gift that changed my life.

13. Love and Rockets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_and_Rockets_%28comics%29

I could be critical of this comic now but my life and most of my relationships were pretty dark in the 'seventies and early 'eighties. Some days I was the super hero, some days the crazy guy sleeping in his car or the bleeding guy on the bus. I was really good at hiding it too, always until I couldn't.

This comic offered me a sense of normalcy for a few years until I was lucky enough to establish my own.

[Brother Buzz]

14. I went straight from Mad magazine to ZAP

Everything else was a distraction.



I was always partial to this guy, he always had his priorities straight:

[denbot]

15. The Goon

[Dagstead Bumwood]

16. I read some Green Lantern in the '70s.

And Richie Rich, for some odd reason. Maybe because we weren't rich. Yeah, that's gotta be it.

[Archae]

17. Been reading almost entirely on-line comics lately...

Like Eric W. Schwartz, he has a terrific sense of humor.

19. SUPERMAN AND WONDER WOMAN comics

[Dave Starsky]

20. The Spectre does not get the love he deserves.

The Spectre was THE character that Jim Aparo brought to life. I love that guy.

[Generic Brad]

21. I used to like Prez

It was about a teenage president. His nemesis had a happy face head.

[AllenVanAllen]

22. SAGA...

the award winning comic series written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples continues to be amazing, wild and full of heart. i love it

24. Just remembered, one comic I do have all the issues of.

Asterix.

The character names, the running gag with the "pirates," their ongoing war with the Romans...



I do have one mini-series I bought years ago, still have. Marvel's "Slapstick."

[DFW]

25. The guy on the left was my favorite

[True Dough]

26. Archie comics and Mad magazines (even though they're technically not comics)

those were what I collected. I also had odds and ends like this gem that fascinated me. I loved those creepy tales.

27. This guy, my first comic
