What was the first Batman comic and graphic novel you ever purchased?

For me on comics, it would be Batman Annual 13 when i was 8 including the 4-issue mature readers Catwoman mini-series with the movie adaptation as i collected Batman comics since including Catwoman, Robin and Nightwing as prior to that i did collected superman with JLA, Swamp Thing, Sandman and other DC/Vertigo titles as a kid.

My first graphic novel purchases when i was 14 were Watchmen (ok ok this is not Batman but still after hearing great things on it i bought it and loved it), Year One and Killing Joke.

I don't buy comics however, the death of superman was major news when it happened. I did pick up that one.

Oh yes me and my bigger brother did bought that comic including the return of Superman.

But have you read those 3 graphic novels i mentioned?

no i haven't.

Well then you gotta check out The Killing Joke, Batman Year One and Watchmen which are true graphic novel masterpieces and good ones to begin with on reading GNs.

I'm just joking here. I was 10 years old at the time. I was in a bootleg coffee shop waiting for my dad to get his 50 cent tea. I saw a Batman comic for the first in my life. I loved Batman before reading any type of comic book. It was the beginning of Jason Todd's role as Robin. At first I hated it because Batman was blue and not black. Remember, this was from a bootleg coffee shop so updated comic books was craptastic. I read it and left it there, but that was my first comic book experience. I tried to read other comic books with Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Latern, Thor, Spiderman, and Hulk. I knew immediately that I hated Marvel comic books! I don't favor Wonder Woman nor Superman. I like Green Latern but not as much as Batman. I do love my detective, noir, dark themed comic books. I'm getting back into them slowly like crash course wise. So...yay!
