The first comic I turned on to was of the "illustrated classics" type, and related an abridged version of Shelley's Frankenstein. We were visiting friends of my parents in Cape Girardeau, so I was in a strange house, and the comic (which was completely uncomical) scared the crap out of me.
The heroic/action character I later grew to love was Batman. I'd go down to Kressge's (the chain that later became K-Mart) with my dime and buy the latest issue from a vending machine they had just inside the door. I'm really looking forward to the new Batman movie coming out this summer, because the Christian Bale interpretation of the Caped Crusader feels like a return to the original Batman, before the ears on his costume got big and he began to depend on batcomputers and other batcrap instead of his own smarts.
It doesn't hurt, either, that Christian Bale is sort of hot.
