First Comic Book I Ever Read


I am currently in the hunt for a fine-very fine copy of this issue. Of the 12,000 books I have in boxes this is the one I want most for my collection.

My first comic: Fantastic Four #5

Dr. Doom completely trounces the FF and sends them back in time to retrieve mystic pirate treasure. They dress up like buccaneers and wreck some ships. Doom turns out to be a robot while the real one gets away on his "Nuclear Powered Flying Harness". A goofy issue, but it establishes the group's dysfunctional family dynamic and Doom's contempt for the team.

I remember that goofy issue. It was always being reprinted in the various treasuries.
