Which DC Copper stories you consider the best (and why)?

[Jeffro.]

Equal time and all

 

I'll start off with the Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire Justice League series. And then later Adam Hughes art

 

Just a fun, fun comic all the way around. One of the most entertaining of the 80's. Can't recommend it enough.

[whetteon]

There was that one... no wait.. What about.. no, that was a Marvel title. Hmm..

 

 

I tease, I tease. Actually the best storyline I remember reading in the early 90's was the Death of Superman. Right up to issue #75. Everything after that was just .

[whetteon]

Oh, and Sword of Azrael was fantastic until they made him replace Batman. Ugh!

[drakesfuture]

Well, Watchmen is pretty danged good. .

 

Isn't Crisis on Infinite Earths considered Copper. I mean, that's a genre defining story (whether you like it or not...and I do)

 

 

The Outsiders run with Alan Davis is suprisingly good. I love the Baron bedlam/ressurected Hitler Story.

 

Howsabouts Batman :Year One?

 

 

 

[Transplant]

Batman: Year One

New Teen Titans: Judas Contract

Batman: TDKR

[faster friends]

New Teen Titans and Swamp Thing

[Reno McCoy]

I remember enjoying the Detective Comics Mud Pack story.

[vaillant]

I have read some Mike W. Barr Detective Comics which were awesomely nice. They seemed like… Marvel stories.

 

If "Cosmic Odyssey" still falls into Copper I would add it, although I did not like it excessively it nicely wrapped up the Fourth World mythology, which is the only one I am truly familiar with as a non-DC reader.

[vaillant]

Ah, and although I just read a few (and being thoroughly ignorant about the Green Lantern), I’d suggest maybe the Green Lantern Corps by Steve Englehart?

 

How am I doing for a DC "Outsider"?

[Bosco685]

Batman: Year One

New Teen Titans: Judas Contract

Batman: TDKR

 

Three heavy hitters!

 

 

I'd add:

 

- Green Lantern 141-196

- V For Vendetta

- Gilgamesh II

- Skreemer mini series

[Bosco685]

New Teen Titans and Swamp Thing

 

Saga of Swamp Thing 1-19, not so much. 20-80 (+), yummy!

 

New Teen Titans 1980 series up to the early Tales of the Teen Titans are favorites. The second series seemed to lose creative steam.

[Bosco685]

Alan Moore "Whatever Happened To the Man of Tomorrow" and "For the Man That Has Everything". I really enjoyed these books.

[Ken Aldred]

- Legion of Super-Heroes 'The Great Darkness Saga' by Levitz

- The Shadow by Helfer

- Hawkworld by Truman

- Animal Man by Morrison

[Bosco685]

Sandman 1-75.

[kdoginohio]

- Legion of Super-Heroes 'The Great Darkness Saga' by Levitz

(thumbs u Best part was that Giffen wasn't inking himself at that point.

All o' these... and Hellblazer!!! Series runs well past copper, obviously, but #1 was in January of '88 and those first couple of dozen issues are still as righteous as anything else from the era.
