My First Comic: Hulk Comic #5

It seems appropriate that my first post should be about the first comic that I ever owned. It was a copy of Hulk Comic #5 that my cousin bought for me when I was five. In one of the stories the Black Knight and Captain Britain fight a stone giant that has been conjured by a sorcerer called Mordred. That story, and in particular the scene where the stone giant slowly sinks into quicksand, would stay with me long after the other stories had been forgotten. Unfortunately I also remember drawing a penis on the stone giant with a green felt-tip pen. My cousin wasn't very impressed.

So that was the comic that started it all. Thirty years later and I'm still reading comics, but I no longer draw penises on them.
