Copper is a very strange age for italian collectors, as our main Marvel publisher went bankrupt between 1982 and 1984, and so the publication of new stories was "freezed" until the late 1980s.

 

I personally think there is more quality in late bronze titles and certain issues, but of course this has little to do with quality.

What they did good in Copper is they cleaned them up, getting rid of much of the lettering blurbs which dominated late Bronze, so the covers had a lot of impact.
