I am not sure what the first was. It might have been something in Boy's Life, like the Wacky Adventures of Pedro. The first comicbook I remember reading was either The True Story of Smokey the Bear or that one anti-smoking Spiderman comic

Most of my first inspiration to draw came more from illustrations like in Madeline, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Lane Smith's art in Time Warp Trio, and Sonic the Hedgehog. It wasn't until I started reading manga like Dragon Ball Z, Astroboy, and Ramna 1/2 that I got inspired to create comics.
