Everyone collects differently but what would you consider to be your Top 10 Iconic comics in your own collection. This doesn't mean high grade or even most valuable. For me it means an important first appearance or milestone.

 

What got me thinking of this was my brother bought me the Captain America 100 poster from Asgard Press because he heard me say I owned that book. So, here's mine and it's fluid because if I ever get X-Men #1 or B&B #28....

 

In no particular order except alphabetical:

 

Brave & The Bold #54 - 1st Teen Titans

Captain America #100 - his own series again

Conan #1 - Gateway to the Marvel Bronze Age?

Flash #123 - Return of the DC Golden Age heroes

Green Lantern #76 - Gateway to the DC Bronze Age?

Justice League of America #1

Superman #76 - First Superman/Batman team up.

Swamp Thing #1

X-Men #4 - 1st Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Brotherhood

X-Men #94

 

It was tougher than I thought. I considered Superman Vs. Spiderman, Batman #234, etc.

 

I'm waiting to see the Detective 27's, Action #1's, etc. lol

I have old comics but I don't think I have any old keys. I have Copper/Modern first appearances like Venom, Carnage, Gambit, Jubilee, Bishop, Cable, used to have Deadpool but I can't find it now :cry:

 

I don't know how iconic any of those are (shrug)
