And there you have it. That single sound sums up my burgeoning geekdom when, at the age of eleven, X-Men (I can’t remember exactly which incarnation/title, but I do remember the Dark Phoenix), became my first ever monthly and Nightcrawler was always in my top five. In retrospect, I think I have to amend a previous position and admit that he was my first crush and Gambit was my second; yeah, sure, Kurt was blue and half demon, but he was a gentleman.
I’d probably have started earlier, according to his father, my grandmother tossed all of his comics when he left for college, which pile contained, according to him, Spider-Man #1 and The Fantastic Four #1 (like the first #1s from 1962 and 1961 respectively). Who else knows what was in the trove but shame that, whether I would have glommed on to those titles or not (Spider-Man probably, Fantastic Four meh).
