- Although the first issue was published in 1979, a title that really started to peak in the mid-to-late 1980s was the UK's Viz Comic - the most consistently funny comic book ever published.

 

- Warrior magazine - V For Vendetta, Marvelman / Miracleman.

After looking at the long list that's starting to form, this is me: :fear:

 

I really appreciate these lists. Thanks for your efforts and the efforts of the rest of the pack to build them.

Likewise. It's great to go back and reminisce about some of the great, and even awful titles. Keep it going! :applause:

Tales of the beanworld

Giant size mini-comics

Puma Blues

Last Generation

Honeymooners. Yes, this was actually a hot comic for a while. :screwy:

And ,you could create another thread with all of the ninja animals.

You mentioned a Samurai #1.

 

Samurai 1

 

I'm talking about the original B&W version that helped get Barry Blair into comics, which was before the Aircel version of Samurai. One is worth $3-$8 in NM condition, the other $100 (+) due to how rare it is.

 

:foryou:
