I buy from Aaron because it is ALWAYS a worry free transaction. Got my mags (one of which was VERY over-sized) with perfect packaging resulting in the books arriving in perfectly-as-described condition. Same time, next year, my friend!

Good point. Let's look at it from this angle.
Let's for fun assume that you're 10 years old and that you're back in the day. For arguments sake, let's assume that both books are on the rack at the same time. The books of course are 10 cents each (they have no value beyond the reading aspect) and you have but 1 dime to spend. Which one do you buy? And "no" there's no asking for an advance on your allowance; borrowing 10 cents from a friend etc etc
I'm gonna buy the one where the guy is punching Hitler.

I kinda always liked this one. I think Im probably the only one that bought this title when it came out. Cant really say I enjoyed it other than appreciating the fact that it was sooooo off the wall for DC to publish it.
This was a really fun series... I was so disappointed when DC cancelled it
You weren't the only one that bought it when it came out (but there REALLY weren't many of us)

1. Harley Quinn.
2. John Constantine
3. Lobo
4. Deathstroke

Fixed that for ya.

I thought it got crazy after Margo Robbie showed up...
Nah, if anything, I'd say she slowed it down. Which is not to say that movie hype did not influence the climb, but it was climbing before the movie & it was climbing after the movie. Wish I owned one. Not really in my wheelhouse though.

Yes, but technically she debuted on Batman The Animated Series and not in the comics.
Doesn't keep Batman Adventures #12 from being the hottest modern key out there. And realistically, the Harley Quinn that became so popular, wasn't the Harley Quinn that was Joker's girlfriend... the Harley Quinn whose popularity went stratospheric was the "reformed" bad girl heroine that Amanda Connors brought.

Ok, I will bite what is?
Watchmen #1 or Dark Knight Returns?
Before you answer I was thinking more along the lines since 1980 that Deathstroke, Lobo and John Constantine have been the three big new key characters introduced in the DC Universe.
I could though see an argument for the Watchmen characters?
Harley Quinn... hands down the "biggest" character DC has had in the last 30 years

From a standpoint for video games and action figures to go along with movies/TV I have to put John Constantine at number 3.
Deathstroke = Deadpool
Lobo = Venom
John Constantine = ?
Just from a marketing standpoint I see Deathstroke crossing many more different media than John Constantine. John`s a acquired taste.
So Deathstroke number one. lol.
That's because DC (current leadership) doesn't realize that John Constantine is John Wick with magic instead of guns.
EDIT... I just realized what an unfortunate parallel that is given that Keanu sucked as JC and rocks as JW.

I agree. Lobo is DC`s Venom. I would say I put Omega Men #3 up there with New Teen Titans #2 as the two biggest DC keys since 1980 because Lobo and Deathstroke are the two best new characters DC has created since 1980.
A strong third would be John Constantine.
Say What?!??! "A strong third"??!????!?? Man, I have no words. John Constantine is one of my favourite characters from the 80s, along with Badger, Grim Jack & Jon Sable. Lobo is ok, but Deathstroke who?

It's taken me quite a few years, but I have finally completed my spectrum set of Planet Comics #52. I bought the "no magenta" copy off of Metropolis years ago, and found a perfectly colored copy on Heritage a couple of weeks ago. As a Fiction House aficionado, the extreme color ranges available in each issue have always fascinated me. Their printer just did not care, and would let the ink go until it was.absolutely.empty.

I made this gif years ago and thought it lost. Thanks for posting!
Happy to be of service... when I saved it initially, I had your name on it, but lost that hard drive, and only had the photobucket upload to pull from... Glad to finally know who I cribbed it from

NM- 9.2 (Ridiculously insane to find this book in this grade with poster)
Cover Done by Enrich (of Vampirella Fame)
Interior done by Esteban Maroto to the tune of a Fueled Psychedelic Frenzy.
POSTER STILL INTACT. This is VERY TOUGH as the poster was inserted Loose. Not Affixed.

This is what I was referring to from the Warren Published Dracula Book One Soft Bound above.

LOVE Maroto! If I didn't already have this(AND the New English Library series) this would totally be mine! Oh, and just an FYI for anyone else... that glue thing, is REALLY common on this book. The glue used just dries up and gives up its grip.

How can you be a Horror fan and not like something like this cover by Ditko?
Well, the IDEA is good horror, the composition and details are pretty rank... badly drawn good idea is still bad art.

Unpopular opinion.... super-heroes hold the comic book artform back from what it could have been/could become. 90% of my collection is non-hero related.
