Copper Age Key Issues

60 posts in this topic

I know that there are threads on Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age key issues. So, that got me wondering, what are the Copper Age Key Issues? I searched the threads and didn't find anything relating to this topic? At least not one dedictated thread. If I somehow missed it, I apologize and would love a link to it.

From what I've read since I got back into collecting earlier this year, it seems to be 1984/85 to 1991/92. Great input so far. I'll compile what everyone has put and edit my original post with the list.

PERFECT!!!! Thanks. Now, wondering why I couldn't find it w/ the 'search' function? Oh well.

 

 

I wish that list had the reason for its 'keyness'...

 

ROM #75? Robin #1? Really??

There's a one page in-shadow cameo in 22. I don't think there's much interest in it though. Then he is seen in full (in Death mask) in 23 for 2 pages. 24 has him on the cover, the full story, unmasking etc. 24 is the valuable of the 3.
