Hey all - thanks for the feedback. This really did help. I agreed with the majority of opinions. I did review most of the story lines on marvel.wikia.com and settled on these

 

143 - 175, 183, 205 - 213, 232 - 237

 

That frees up some space.

 

Although I'm looking at maybe hanging on to the first Mr Sinister appearance (221).

 

And yeah the Nimrod books leading up to Mutant Massacre were fun reads.

 

I also have X-men 251 - 253 as I liked the wolverine storyline in that one as well.

 

Many thanks for all the thoughts!

Told ya so!

 

Man, this thread is getting me nostalgic for when I rediscovered funny books for the second time. I stopped reading around 1979-80 or so (stopped everything but Byrne X-Men in 79), then in 85-86, I jumped back in. It was an incredibly fun time to be reading new books, as there were lots of higher-end titles, but it hadn't totally turned into an adult-only hobby.

 

So I could hit the LCS to buy Watchmen and TDK, along with some Marvel staples, and shoot the breeze, yet still see the kids rushing in on Saturday morning to spend their allowance. This is was a great "All Age" period in comics, and probably the best time to be a fan or reader.

 

And back issues were cheap too!! :preach:

So right at the beginning of the Copper Age transition period is when you stopped, and then got back in when it was really heating up - sweet time to get back into books. Oddly enough, same here.

So right at the end of the Bronze Age you quit reading comics and then re-engaged when Copper was in full swing, because everyone knows that 1980 is not Copper.

Pretty well, and I observed and saw, but did not actively partake in the creative, publishing and format changes in 1981 that started the Copper Age movement.

 

I picked up the odd comic-based magazine during those times, and read the early OS price guides at the library, so I kept abreast, but never got into physically buying comics until years later.
