This is the only Golden Age book I've ever come across. I bought it specifically to have a book this old in my collection. It's from 1942. I believe it's the sixth ever appearance of Wonder Woman. The book also features stories starring Wildcat & Mr. Terrific, along with some other characters that have not withstood the test of time.
Mine is Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #72, cover date October 1963. In the issue, Jimmy faces off against several of his alter-egos, including Giant Turtle Man, the Human Porcupine, and Fat Boy (?) only to discover that he is the victim of an elaborate prank by Superman and the Legion of Superheroes. A landmark issue in comics history to be sure!
Batman #201 May of 1968. My most valuable ones are from a few years after..(Some Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams Green Lanterns, and some of that same teams Batmans...and "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" story from Amazing Spider-man.) But for age, this is the oldest.
I have a kul the desttroyer from 1974 and a donald duck from 1972. the kull may not be great but it specail to me because it the only comic i own with the cca stamp. it like a peice of history.
"the faceless creatures stole your face" then they're not exactly faceless now are they... That's just the X-men during a Holloween party where they all dressed like Superman!!!! Look you have Bobby Drake running over to give Superman and hug and Beast just jumped down from the ceiling and the new recruit is giving Supe a punch on the shoulder like "hey guy , you're my hero" ____ How rude of the DC heroes to call mutants creatures!
I own an issue of Special comics 1 published in 1941, good book a little darker than I expected, but I came really close to a first issue of Blue Ribbon comics from 1939 but I have a limited budget for conventions.

I realise that trying to buy very old comics now is very difficult since they all cost so much but if you carry on looking you'll find some good deals eventually!
