What Was Your First Comic?

[Cavechan]

I was really into Sailor Moon when I was in 7th or 8th grade and that was when I made my first comic. So of course it was magical girls and for some reason they were named after continents? Gotta have some sort of gimmick!

I actually posted it online for anyone who is truly daring. I was going to post all of my early comics, but I never ended up finishing.

It was a W.I.T.C.H fancomic full of my fancharacters interacting with the canon ones. It was pretty bad... XD

my very first comic, was inspired by some SciFi show, before they changed the channel name to SyFy. And one character's name meant air to us for some reason. So we made this world of measurements, masses fought space. The main character was this quadrouple amputy aptly named Cubit, because his height was one cubit. He was an active 4 star general. Was kind of cool. Had made up drug dealers that dealt something called spice, which was just peppers. There was this world ender named blackhole, which was the most beautiful yet deadly being in the universe. Then you had gravity bombs that warped space and alter appearances of space people. was fun.

A comic named "Scaredy Man" - It was about a stick man that was scared of everything - each strip would end with him overexaggerating from whatever subject of fear was featured at the time by either running away or exploding on the spot. A friend and I alternated drawing strips and they always ended up funny as hell. Good times.

As far as I can recall it was a comic about a super-powered mentos that I did for my elementary school newspaper. Then there was this incident where another student decided to write his own comic for the paper with his own super-powered mentos character. I don't remember how that ended, but I am one of the few people who've actually had someone steal their OC.

some many of us started by doing fan comics! Or complete edge lord comics, I find that pretty funny hahaha

my first comic was from back when I was in 6th grade and it was gonna be about some wolves with magical powers... I was going through a phase at the time

[Lennart]

i have made other comics like this with this oc when i was pretty young, i was usually re-drawing entire comics of ninja turtles, dragon ball, battle angel alita, batman and stuff like this on printer paper, so it was like my first essays with my own character x)

The ink and colors have dried and are almost transparent now... and the paper is all yellowish

My first comic was written when I was 11 years old, drawn with pencils and crayola wax crayons. It was about girl with a bell around her next falling to earth meeting a boy with wolf ears and tail. Ever time the bell rings she transforms into her edgy evil side who was a ..MURDER!! From what I remember they fight an evil black monster called the..THE DARKNESS(too spooky for me).

I kinda wish I could find that old thing again.

I remember doing little 3 part short series (technically fan fics) of Digimon (season 1 so that was around 1999, that show was my everything look froward to it every week!!! XD) they were mostly comedies in them that was so fun, thinking of the charterers in situations that i made up from my mind keep me excited to draw, it was like my escape from school at the time! (like my playtime)
i did a comic of each season of digimon (at the time i was a kid seasons 1-4, 4 being my absolute favorite season!)

[Rhonder]

Dunno exactly which was first-first so I'll just list off a few of the earliest that I remember:

• I made several short digimon and pokemon fan comics in elementary school. Usually revolving around my family members and their friends as the main cast.

• My mom taught me an easy way to draw a cartoon rabbit when I was younger, so I made a series of comics about him. His name was Fred, "Funny Rabbit Except Dumb". These were basically all 1 page gag comics where fred would do something dumb/funny. He even had a hippie-ish brother who made a cameo once or twice. Some scenarios I kinda remember are them making a laser that turned the whole planet into a large carrot, and some sort of beach trip. (I'm sad, these are some of the few drawings from my childhood I have no idea where they are xD;; )

• A thanksgiving cross-over comic between Sonic the Hedgehog, Yugioh, Pokemon and... I think Fred from the previous bullet. I only got like 3 or 4 pages in, wherein the turkeys sent Sonic a request for help because Shadow had a rifle and was hunting them. So Sonic dressed up like a turkey and ran around to distract shadow, then they had a speed chase where sonic did a loopty-loop on a tree and shadow ran into it and got his head stuck. The last panel was Ash and Pikachu wandering upon ko'd shadow and wondering if he was a new type of pokemon. I sadly don't remember what the rest of the plot was supposed to be like.

Then after these types of ones I have a lot of middle school comics I remember, but those are def not my earliest earliest ones.

The first comic I ever made was on Deviantart, actually. I used a thing called Walfas and it's basically a paper doll maker.

Was a pretty meh series.

First comic on here; https://tapas.io/episode/708512

The first comic I ever made was probably the story of a cat who peed in different places. Mainly because the Finnish words for cat (kissa) and pee (pissa) rhymed and I loved cats. I must've been very young back then because it was very simple but I did make it into a small book that I folded from paper. My grandma still has it if I remember correctly.

My comics have developed into a different direction since then. :'D

[spicy_sweets]

Only comic I ever made was in middle school, hand drawn about some demon chick whose mom was killed by her father after he found a mistress. There's also something about servants that were reincarnated to earth for something... and a sister who hated the MC... ya that was pure cringe, but was a nice thing to do for fun.

I worked on this with friends when I was 14... I don't have the whole story on deviantart anymore, but I managed to find a page.... Ah, how far I have come...

[alliascompany]

I think one of the first comics I made were about a bunch of stick people that escape from a drawing and terrorizing two siblings. Was going to make a sequel where the siblings jump into the drawing, but never got around to it XD

[CrispyGhee]

Omg, fan comic person here too, when I was like...6 years old. But after realizing I couldn't draw sailor moon characters very well, I ended up just making a "rip-off" comic based off of it. Which was 'better' because I could name the main character after myself hahaha

I really love seeing how many people started with fan comics and "rip offs"--it's being able to look into what it was that compelled you all to become storytellers. And then you grew up to continue making stuff because of that little germinated seed. It's awesome.

[OliviaMerteli]

My very first comic is the one I'm doing right now. Originally, I'm a "writer" and I started drawing late. (So no fancomics for me but lot of fanfictions )
