If you read comics, what got you started in it?

I grew up watching the 60s Spider-Man show

and Batman show

and Green Hornet show

and the 50s Superman show

and it was those sorts of shows that got me into comic books later

but also my older brother

who (of course) was influenced by those same shows.

I read my brother's comics when he started buying them

and since he was a fan of the Fantastic Four and Thor

(when they were being done by Jack Kirby, they were both really great comics at that time)

I also became a Marvel fan.

I started reading comics as a kid, and sadly, many of my original comics are no longer in my possession.

I have always leaned towards DC, so most of my later comic and graphic novel collections are DC stories.

I also watched many of the animated versions from the classic 1967 Spider-Man series, which still has just about the coolest theme and soundtrack, through to the modern period of DC Animated Universe, which started with the 1992 Batman The Animated Series. I also buy all their animated DVDs/BluRays.

There's also a great site: readcomicsonline, which lets you both read and copy (By page) pretty much any comic book (At least from DC) ever published. I'm currently going through some late 1940s Superman stories looking at when they started to show him flying as opposed to leaping.

I was buying them every so often and then the Comic Book boom happened. It's not very often when the thing you are interested in becomes huge.

I started reading comics because my little pee pee got up seeing Supergirl and I wanted to know more about her. Her movie sucks and her TV show sucks by the way. Her comics also kind of sucks because DC doesn't seem to care about her too much. So her story is all over the place and she's just there to finish off Superman's plot holes and loose ends. Which is very sad. She has a lot of potentials but they are just using her to deal with things they don't want to deal with in the Superman comics.

I started reading comics in the early 60's. I haven't stopped yet. Don't ask what got me started...it was 60 years ago.

When I was a small child, I found an old Superman comic inside a coffee table.  I was too young too read it, but I was fascinated by the colorful pictures.
