Don't forget to add Batman 121 to the list. (thumbs u

 

Why? It's not a key book.

 

Really? It is to many Batman collectors.

 

It is a minor key in the Batman world, and an insignificant book when discussing must have keys of the Silver Age. It is a meaningless book compared to true keys such as AF15 or Hulk 1 or B&B 28.

 

I can't believe I actually have to explain this to you.

In this context, the same goes for ASM #50. (shrug)

I wasn't arguing that AF15, Hulk 1, FF1 weren't more significant, that's obvious. Looking at some of the other books people were mentioning, I would rather have a Bats 121, that's all. I wouldn't call it an insignificant key and I would much rather have it than many of the other books, but then again, I mostly collect Bats books now. To each their own. (thumbs u

If we could lay this out like playing cards(Marvel Deck), I'd say that the Aces would be AF15, Hulk1, FF1 and the next is tough, but I'd go TOS39

 

Kings: JIM83, ASM1, Avengers1, Xmen1

 

Queens: DD1, TTA27

AF15 is the joker in the playing card analogy. Alone at the top. :D
