The Oldest Comic Book in my Collection - A bit of Comic Book History!

My oldest comic book is from 1948 and comes with a personal story to share.

That's awesome. Love the classics illustrated story. I saw a ton of those when I was in Vinny's Garage. At the time, I had no idea that those things existed. Imagine my surprise when I saw the Count of Monte Cristo and The Tale of Two Cities. Lol Also, oldest comic I saw was Little Orphan Annie, 1934.

It's incredible how many adaptations exist in comic book form - even today!

Man, right in the feels. My grandmothers all passed away when I was very young so I don't have any memories of them. This was touching to hear, thank you for sharing Derek.

Thank you, Brandon.

I love this video and the story of this book. Awesome book. A Christmas Carol is my favorite Christmas story of all time. You can't put a price on sentiment.

Thank you for watching! You definitely can't put a price on sentiment.

I don't have anything before the silver age. My oldest comic would probably be either Avengers #8 or Uncanny X-Men #14 or maybe Brave and the Bold #34.

Regardless of age, those are still some awesome books to own!

Great story and nice to have a comic book that has strong ties to a beloved family member. Thanks for sharing!

We both managed to skip reading Wuthering Heights lol.

I should also mention that my comics collection started thanks to my uncle Mike, who would always send comics for Christmas. Watchmen, Camelot 3000, reprinted collections of Spider-Man, Avengers and X-Men. He was the best.

[@UncannyDerekComics]

That's really sweet of him, Joe! Watchmen is definitely one heckuva book to get someone started with!

[@UncannyDerekComics]

Y'know, I remember the Wuthering Heights movie ending around chapter 8 of the book - which is what I had read up to! Boy, was I ever disappointed!
