"Famous Monsters" ~ which issue is your earliest?

[Sir Masksalot]

Mine is this oldie from 1962. I bought it used and not in
the best condition. It probably has no value on the
collecting market. I'd toss it out except for its outstanding
photo feature about Dick Smith creating a "Dorian Gray" head
the year before >



My oldest premiere title remains this one from 1964 and
it's still in good condition >



Do reply about your earliest issues. I'll bet some of you
have stuff even older than mine.

I have 5, also beat ( missing the back cover). While not the earliest, 22 and 42 are my favorites.

I used to have them all.  I think I kept #4 might be my oldest.  I kept it because it had a Creature article in it.

I foolishly sold off most of my collection in 1989 before moving cross country, but I think the oldest one I had was #137 due to Star Wars on the cover.
