Mine was Robert Crumb's "Keep on truckin'", bought at the age of 11. Didn't know who Crumb was at the time, but I liked the motif.

A Dark Horse Predator shirt in the mid-90s.
Yes, I went 25 years without getting a comic-themed shirt. Crazy!

Black Batman t-shirt with the yellow oval bat-symbol on the chest. Purchased in 1989 around the time the Burton Batman film was released. I would have been 14 at the time.

Oh, I should point out I had a friend make me a Batman t-shirt when I was 18, with the big Bat from Dark Knight Returns.

A Spider-Man/Captain America T-shirt that had a comic book page on the shirt itself. At least that's the first one I remember buying. Would have been 1976 or thereabouts.

I think it was an FF insignia T-shirt... just the "4" in the circle. I was in my 30's. I like that generally people don't know it's a comic book T, unless they're into comics, especially as it looks nothing like what the movies used.

Elfquest t-shirt. I must have been in the Navy at the time. Right after that, a Rocketeer t-shirt.

I have purchased dozens of comic shirts over the years. One of my favorite was the red t-shirt with the Daredevil DD on it. Simple, but nice. Also I quite liked the gray Batman shirt with the black bat logo on it. Again, simple but very nice.
I bought a couple featuring the Batman the Animated Series Batgirl against a circle. Those may be my favorites.
Anybody remember that Captain America T-shirt that they were selling in 1976? Man how I wanted that one: Cap standing in front of the Constitution.

Beachy's a skimmer.  Mine was a black tee-shirt with the Phantom on it. It was this same image, but with a blurb that said "Phantom...ghost who walks....man who cannot die...." in place of Falk's name. I was about nine years old.

I'm sorry to say, this was my first comics-related t-shirt. In my little town, this was the first one that was available... the shirt of the 1989 Batman film.

Yeah, I missed seeing Marcus post about the Cap shirt I liked. That was a cool shirt, though. I'm glad that someone got it.

I didn't buy it, but I had Superman Underoos when I was a kid, so that would be my first superhero shirt.  Otherwise it was a Batman logo t-shirt I bought about 5 years ago now, the first of many comic related t's I've purchased since. It's nice to have so many to choose from these days.

Didn't I read somewhere that they were going to do superhero underoos for adults? I'm stone cold serious here.

I wore my submarine dolphins t-shirt (pictured) to my local comic book shop last week and someone asked me what superhero it represented.
