What Comics Came Out the Month You Were Born?

Stumbled across this cool website in the John Byrne forums. Click here to see comic covers from the month and year you were born!

These are listed by cover date on the comic, which is usually a few months ahead of the actual sale date. Ex. Amazing Spider-Man #81 has a cover date of Feb 1970 BUT was actually on sale in Novmeber 1969.

Going through the cover dates for my birthday, I can't believe Amazing Spider-Man was only in the low 80s when I was born.

That is an awesome site. Plus it finally gave me the answer to a question I'd been wondering about for a couple of years.

Thanks!

Marvel didn't really have anything back then. Kathy? Life with Millie? Patsy and Hedi? Well they do have a few anthology series but no super heroes that I see.

My God, I pre-date Spider-man! (quietly sobs)

For me, it lists Issue 22. Since this year marks my 31st year in animal rescue, it's only fitting that Big Red debuted then,

Cover date.

On sale date.

Awesome find, BlackSun!
