What was the first physical comic you read?

[Gauche]

Had a friend who subscribed to Shōnen Jump but I didn't sit to read any of that.
I think the first Manga I tracked down online to read was Suzuka. Did not expect the full on nudity in it.
I had seen online comic strips and knew some series but I didn't actually get a physical comic in my hands until high school. I don't remember the details as to why but my friend's gf lent me the entire Johnny the Homicidal Maniac series. Sharing I suppose. I didn't know it at the time but each issue was roughly $20. I only found out today when looking for a digital copy. That was real cool of her.

Aside from that I've only had some Fantastic 4 zombie comics in my hands. Partly read but I didn't get through it.

Pretty sure first comic book I ever read was something with either Donald Duck or Mighty Mouse, that was so long ago I think I was 4 or 5 years old

Donald Duck for sure. Followed by The Phantom and DC's and Marvels Silver age and Bronze age. I've got boxes upon boxen of comics.

My mother used to read me comics before I could even properly speak, so there's no way I could remember. I would imagine, though, it must've been Disney stuff (Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and whatnot) or some of the home-grown stuff that was popular back in the day.

Don't think I ever really read comics as a kid. I know I had some Simpsons comics though, so it was probably them

Tmnt…heroes in a half shell. Turtle power

When I was in elementary school, one of the security guards (I think?) gave me and another kid two comic books each. I don't remember why.
One was a barbarian-type comic book, and the other was some space-man sci-fi jetpack guy.

The barbarian comic had a panel where a woman was getting raped and also stabbed. I remember chuckling with my friend about it.

My parents found them one day and I remember my dad asked me how these comics make me feel. I don't remember what I said back. Maybe I said "I don't know".

I found them again in 2019 when we were moving and going through everything. They were at the bottom of a bin with a whole bunch of action figures. I threw them away and donated the action figures.

Thanks, security guard, but you really shouldn't be giving away comics with graphic violence and sexual content to elementary schoolers.

My father used to have a big pile of WWII comics that I used to look at. Or actually, I'm sure he still has them. They're just sitting in a storage shed at the moment. If I recall correctly, one of the covers of them depicted a handwritten note that was spattered in blood.
