Nobody mentioned Miller's second stint on DD either, I believe it was called SAVED, easily one of my faves!

"Born Again."

 

The best in-continuity super-hero story ever told. No lie.

Nope, no lie. The best Daredevil story ever to see print. One of the best superhero stories as well.

Define "important"...

 

Instead of important....how about good storylines that would be fun to read. If they are important to the character thats a plus. I am interested in some fine reading for the most part.

Watchmen #1-10

Why, what's wrong with the last two issues? :baiting:

 

Um. Er. Uh....

 

THEY STINK!

 

(Wasn't paying attention. ;) )

 

By the way, excellent list. :applause:

 

What did you use as cut-off points for determining whether a book is copper or not?

 

 

Loosely 1983-ish to 1993-ish, though I don't like such a small time frame.

Nice list RMA.

 

Not necessarily important but, they're alright reads...

 

Doctor Strange 48-55, 65-73

Marvel Fanfare 1-4

Fantastic Four 347-349

 

Art Adams. After looking at that FF arc again, I've come to the conclusion that he's to blame for the "Image" style. Spider-Man with flipper feet, elongated faces, overly linear work, it's all there. In Adams' hands the style makes sense. His imitators? Not so much.
