@tgraph52 For Marvel that would be before March 1961.
@BenjaminSpider I'm a child of the 50s and read the Archie comics, Little Lulu... terrible stuff and then onto DC. Marvel comics were an upstart operation 😀 but I grew to like them too. I had a stack maybe a foot high on a shelf at my grandparents house, by a window and with a big rocking chair. Those thick comics with like 3 stories were 25¢.
TMI probably
@tgraph52 @BenjaminSpider probably the very first comic I bought was some funny animal comic, something with a cat n mouse, and it was only a dime. After that, all others were 12 cents
@BenjaminSpider I'm old enough to remember when comics went up to 12¢.
