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

I had some old Batman comics from the early 60's in a box and my cat climbed in there to sleep but not before prepping her "bed" by clawing the crap out of them....had to throw them out in tears!! Got them in totes now!!
