Hard one but it would probably be one of the Carl Barks duck epics like "Lost in the Andes". There aren't many comics that I read before age 10 that I can still enjoy as much as when I first read them.

Magnus, Robot Fighter #1 from 1963.  Probably the most complete comic there ever was.

Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes #245.  The first comic I ever bought and the greatest Legion story ever.

Hmmm a toughie.  As I would soon know the story by heart, I guess I'd go for art, and I think I'd pick Flash Gordon (King Comics) #1 by Al Williamson.

Catching up on forum posts.

I'd probably take one of the EC Mad comics, but I can't narrow it down further than that without going through every issue and trying to pick favorites.
Second choice: one of The Barker issues with all Klaus Nordling art.  Simply great stuff worthy of re-reading over and over.

Can't choose really, there were just too many good comics over all these years.  When I think about it though, I'd just might take some pencils, pen, ink and paper... and an eraser of course.  The comic book I'd take hasn't been written yet... and besides, I'd have something to do besides collecting coconuts all day. :P
