For me it was a bunch of friends of mine were reading them I borrowed one to see what I thought and I was amazed.

I'll be honest, I don't remember. I was reading comics before I even learned to actually read.

It's the same for me too. I can't remember exactly when back I was into it before I could actually read. It must have been marvel as I never read anything else until the 90's.

When I was really young, my next door neighbor that I had become friends with had a huge collection. We'd hang out and just read all the time. Then a comic shop was put in literally right on the corner of my street, so I got hooked.

when i got chickenpox, my dad was going to the local convenience store to gear up on crapfor me since i was sick. he came back with my first comic which i still have, one from the original wolverine series. seems my dad had taste.
my dad was always big into the green lantern too so it was a matter of time before i found his collection.

I thought I was the only one, but I also can't remember when or why or what got me into comics. I just remember always wanting to read them during the 90's when I was growing up, and when that hobby ended up getting replaced with video games, I'd still track down any notable issues or especially TPB's.

I had pneumonia and in the hospital when I was nine and I was (and still am) a fan of Spider-Man. My dad came back to my room with "Revelations" Part 4 - The end of the Spider-Clone (Ben Reilly). I enjoyed it so much, that it came into disrepair, so I had to replace it.
So that was my first comic.

We moved a lot when I was young. I never spent more than two grades in the same school until I got to middle school. This made it intensely difficult to make friends, as I was consistantly "the new kid". By third grade, I had resigned myself to sitting against the school wall at recess. It was there that I met another butt of the classes mean spirited jokes. He had a pile of comics stuffed into the front pocket of his starter jacket. From then on, it was history. Every week, we'd ride our bikes to the comic store around the corner from the school, and every day at recess we'd find a reading spot.

My undying love for Spider-Man and Kevin Smith.

I just did. My dad bought me some X-Men comics from a corner store one time. It's not a particularly exciting origin story.

Honestly, some of my earliest memories of me as a child are me trying to read the words to Batman and Green Lantern comics in my room and playing with the Mego Super Hero figures.

I recently read Watchmen, and it got me into comics. However, I'm most likely gonna stick with DC and Alan Moore comics. They are the best, imo.

I don't read comics that often, the first one I read was The Killing Joke, then Watchmen, then Wanted ( ing shit). Film adaptions is what got me into it.

I was familiar with classic characters like Batman, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Superman, Green Lantern, Hulk, etc through action figures and math/English excercise books for kids, but I got really interested in them after the first set of Marvel cards came out in 1990.
