Gotcha. I am a lifetime comic book collector (now only older comics) but I want to get into anime. I recently saw fist of the North Star so I may get that manga or try to find Robotech comics
Let's put it this way, One Punch man is both a great manga, AND a hilarious satirization of the genre. So as a first, you'd be missing half the point when it is clearly playing a trope into the stratosphere.
Fist of the North star is such a good series. If you like that sort of stuff maybe you should check out Jojo's bizarre adventure. The title is what it will be like in the beginning, it is split into parts and the first aged somewhat OK somewhat not so much(came out in the 80s). The story gets really damn good, both the Manga and the anime is worth a look if you enjoyed fist of the North star. First two parts took the concept of FOTNS and did its own spin when in the later parts it does its own thing and that very, very well. One again though I am not so sure if it isn't too japanese for a beginner but if you enjoyed FOTNS it might just be for you, don't give up after the first volume or couple episodes.
Incidentally: the Manga is released in English as a hard cover. Really enjoy those and wish more manga came out like that.
