The Bullpen

[JasonP]

Well the first issue that I can remember is right here:


I had no idea what it was or who Ghost Rider was but the all black cover that really was an envelope stuck out and I bought it.  While I wish it still had it for Ron Garney art I really don't remember much about the story, but I thought it was cool.  I never really got into comics until much much later in life and this trade brought me back and here I plan on staying.

It had a Bendis Daredevil story and I was hooked.  Went back read everything from Smith on and I really have just expanded from there.

This would be my first comic.



Still need to buy a replacement copy of it though.  I eventually destroyed that book from reading it and re-drawing panels on typing paper over and over again.
