I've even got nice copies of Byrne's Wheelie and Chopper Bunch.

 

I actually really liked the Doomsday +1 series when I finally bought and read it in the mid-80's. Very nice early-Byrne art and not a bad story... for Charlton.

 

But Charlton is Charlton and they just had to reprint the entire series and call them Doomsday +1 7-12.. making me believe at the time there were 12 issues and I just had to order them all... then I open issue 7, straight from the semi-cliffhanger from 6.... doh!

Charltons were the kings of drek back in the day,...

 

I used to get them sometimes in those huge 75-cent remainder packs, and they were like freakshow books. Horrible art, terrible stories, bad paper, mic-cut 90% of the time, just bad, bad, bad. doh!

 

Who would be hard up enough to actually buy one of these things from the newsstand?

I remember getting one, a war comic, as a birthday party favour, when I was child of perhaps seven. The colours were misaligned, the story was non existent and the artist couldn't draw much better than I, though I earned only a "C" in art back there in grade two. Yet, the comic cost 12c, the same as a Superman. I concluded that they were for the mentally handicapped.

So how many did you eventually accumulate?
