A reprint of THE AVENGERS #4, which, of course, reintroduced Captain America. It's still one of my favorite Marvel stories, even though Namor and Cap should've remembered each other and Paul Reinman's inks were...not great.

Probably some Lee-Kirby Captain America or heavily edited versions of Avengers 1 and X-Men 1. All I can say for sure is that I hated Kirby when I was a kid.

Two stick out in my memory

Fantastic Four Annual #3

Fantastic Four #67

Pretty sure it was FF #67 as my copy of FF Annual #3 was an old tattered copy I found.

Either Green Arrow or The Challengers of the Unknown, I guess.

I had to dig for it. A backup story from Giant Size Avengers #4. Reprinted from Tales To Astonish #38, an Ant Man story.

First actual full comic book was 1st Issue Special #5 starring Manhunter.
The cover haunted me as long as I had it.

It would have been some of his sci-fi shorts, long before I knew his name.

Mine was form the 70's when Kirby was doing Captain America and Armin Zola.  It was not to much longer that I got the Fireside book of the FF telling the story of the Big G.  I have been hooked ever since.

I'd seen him on the stands and considered his work too extreme and unrealistic for my tastes, but I know my mother bought me an issue of Black Panther when I was sick, possibly one involving King Solomon's Frogs, and that weirded me out completely. I don't think I was able to figure out what was going on at all. Devil Dinosaur #3 was one of three comics my sister and I constantly traded back and forth whenever we wanted something from one another (Battlestar Galactica #3 and Dynomutt #5 were in that stack as well.) By the time What If #11 ("What If the Marvel Bullpen Had Become the Fantastic Four?") came out, I was a big fan of Kirby's. I loved What If #11.
