What was your first graphic novel purchase?

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

'Spider-Man: The Movie' Adaption or a collection of 'The Simpsons: Treehouse Of Horror' comics, I'm not exactly sure.

 

[Prison Mike]

Hey Prison Mike. I know a Mike that will likely be going to prison in the next 2 years due to the fact that he's a hot headed idiot who demands it his way or he'll start screaming at the person who is opposed to him and is starting to get violent about it. Any advice I can give him?

Jeff Smith's Bone. That or Watchmen.

 

[Lord Valumart]

Marvel 1602 was the first graphic novel. First comic book I can vividly remember buying is an Archie TMNT comic with the Manta Ray guy in it. That was actually years ago, probably talking 95/96 time, well before I really knew anything about comics.

Arcudi and Manhke is a great team.

 

[childeroland]

Jack T Chick's Crusader comics. Paranoid (rock music is a Satanic plot to ensnare your soul), anti-Catholic (the Jesuits are responsible for World War II and the Spanish Inquisition and Franco's regime and who knows what else), homophobic drivel but train-wreck compelling.

 

[Cagefighterkip]

A collection of Bongo's "Simpsons/Bartman" comics techincally but if you're talking about comprehension and love of artistic detail and storytelling, as a young man, it was either Miller's "Batman: Year One" or "Daredevil: The Man Without Fear."

Shadows of the Empire and The Dark Knight Returns

That's a good one. I bought myself a copy when I was still a psychology major.

Spider-Man: Blue last weekend. Loved it. Anyone know if Daredevil: Yellow or any of the others from this series lives up?

daredevil yellow is pretty good too, really interesting art style to it.

 

[Wolfwood]

Batman : A lonely place of dying

I'm fairly certain this was my first as well. If not, it was one of the first.


The Essential Spider-Man's were my first TPBs. I remember my mom got them for me when we were going on a long family road trip. The actually lasted me the whole trip.

Actually I heard Daredevil: Yellow is better.

First graphic novel I ever got was Man of Steel Vol. 1 but it was in the early 90s got it free with a Superman toy. First one I ever bought for myself was also in the early 90s and it was part of the death storyline it had most of world without a Superman and the opening of Return of Superman.
