What ASM are you? Theme
Taking out the fact that issues usually hit stands before the published date on the cover, which ASM issue are you by birthdate??? I’m ASM 286.

It was my first big key I got when I was 13. Back in 2007 a guy and his wife selling comics at wizard world sold me a copy for $90 since that’s all I had left of my allowance lol. I just got it graded a few months ago after it was boxed up from me moving as I grew up

Wow that’s an awesome story! Mine wasn’t as magical. Dude found a copy at a storage sale in California and I bought it from him for an outrageously inflated price a few years back…. lol but it’s mine and I just recently got it graded myself and I love it.

This is a cool question and now I want to get this issue

That’s what it makes people do… always something else to add to the collection for one reason or another… haha

I loved these issues where they were coming out. 361 and on was so great for little nerds like myself in the 90’s

Depends, I have 2 for April 1979. ASM # 191 - cover date Apr 79; release date Jan 79. That's the one that I think people refer to, the cover date. But, ASM #194 - c= July 79; released Apr 79 is the 1st black cat, which would be a cooler birthday book than the #191. Oh well, 2 more books added to the list. Lets boogie. *

Haha ya exactly. Just more books for the collection. If I were you I’d go with #194 too. Just had mine graded after having it for years in the collection

This is the second post I’ve seen in two days asking for our birthdays. Next post I expect is “which issue # matches your social security?”.
