You know, I might actually have to thank the U.S. educational system for getting me into comics. Because this little gem was the first comic book I ever read/owned. I must have been in elementary school... I think I went through and tried to fix some of the coloring mistakes. With markers -_-;

Also, I've never smoked a cigarette in my life \o/ Thanks, Marvel heroes!

So how did everyone else get into comics/the genre of their choice?

ETA: Actual story for me is that the Batman and X-Men animated series in the early 90s gout me buying comics off the racks in the bookstore. Mad Love was the first comic I really loved, and I started buying Catwoman with issue #3, which I STILL love Balent's art in. I was SO desperate to get the first two issues... I think one friend gave me #2 for my birthday and my dad braved a comic book store to find me #1 <3

Also, I had a HUGE box of my dad's comics from the late 50s/early 60s that I used to read before I helped him eBay them. He was totally a DC guy.

Honestly I never really got into comics, as in, the actual TPB aspect until I read Watchmen, like... two years ago. I always loved the movies that were made from them, though; I especially loved those terrible Batman films they made in the late 80s/early 90s when I was a kid and watched them all the time.

But yeah, after I read Watchmen I was intrigued, started reading more Spidey stuff initially (he was always my favorite of the really well-known superheroes) and blah blah THEN WHEN I JOINED C&C I GOT INTO A SHITLOAD OF OTHER COMICS. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
