Comics Fans! What's your "lost 'em" story?

Question

Anybody who's ever gotten comic books knows that the first appearance of a character or a good story arc are very important to keep. Then tragedy happens, you lost the book. In my case I remember having Avengers Annual #10(first appearance of Rogue), Uncanny X-Men #137(death of Phoenix), and The New Teen Titans #1(first appearances of Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire). One day my mother threw them out. I never saw them again. That's my "lost 'em" story, what's yours?

Answer 1

When I was young, I remeber having an Amazing Fnatasy #15, the first appearence of Spiderman. I remember my borhter traded it a GI Joe doll. I didn't find out untill years later. But my worst "Lost'em", as if anything could be worse, was losing my comic stash in a house fire. I had approximately 300 first print, first issue comics, all gone in a flast. "Lost 'em" all. Darn!

Answer 2

Well, this story is my father's. He went away for a summer while in high school and grandma cleaned up bunch of stuff in their storage...which included Dad's comic books. No biggie at the time. But when you realize that only one of those comic books was Action! with the first appearance of Superman (yeah, the one with him holding a green Packard full of thieves up in the air) and that the box was FULL of other titles that are now like gold, ouch! We are talking about a whole box of golden era comics of the late thirties.

Answer 3

My mother threw out three of my Spawn comics (Issues 1-3) as well as two Lobo comics (issues 1&2). She said they were evil.
