    1) "The Death of Captain Marvel" from the Marvel Graphic Novel series. 2) "This Man, This Monster" from FF 51

    "If you were buying comics in 1975-76 you would know this and quickly realize that the New X-Men is a Modern phenomonen that had little or nothing to do with the Bronze Age." Sorry, CI, but on this one you're wrong. At least in the Chicago area, the "New X-Men" were the absolute hottest thing out there from at least X-Men 96 on. As an example - I had a booth at the Chicago Comicon in 1977 (I was 12, that's a whole other story) and my friends and I sold all of our X-Men for 3x and 4x Overstreet Guide (which, admittedly, at the time was about $2 each). I can tell you stories about buying and selling X-Men 94s at Chicago shows for good money before Byrne came on board. Here's the bad one...I passed on the original art for the cover of X-Men 94 in 1980 for $200. Too much money for my 15-year-old wallet... . But I agree that GS X-Men 1 is too late for the Bronze Age. I'd go with Conan 1. I'd put the end later than most, Crisis 1 and Secret Wars 8.

    Amazing Spider-Man 121 - the end of "innocence" in comics. I can't go with the Conan/Marvel Spotlight concepts because they didn't really go anywhere. The beginning of the Bronze Age was the change of an era.
