Wow! I looked it, this is priceless but not impossible for someone who want to complete this run, i think there is probably 2 or 3 people on this forum who have it

Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon is going to pass Cerebus, I have no doubt.

Spawn is sort of a different animal.

Love and Rockets

Several main series and mini-series, but basically an interlinked and largely continuous narrative.

Quality art and stories throughout.

Huge fan of Jaime Hernandez’s work.

Not quite as many in total as the previous posts, but undeniable quality.

Dunno what the OP means by "Independent Editor"? Does he perhaps mean any company that is nor DC or Marvel? D.C Thompson's Commando must take some beating as far as numbers of comics published as it is currently at number 5670 since the year 1961 (still published, I believe, 8 times per month) with no sign of ending any time soon.

PS: And there have been over 4000 (mostly weekly) Beanos as it is now in its 85th year of publication.

GIJOE ARAH was up to around 300 when it was done. No news if it's returning at Skybound, but I'd reckon odds are good eventually. That's the original Marvel comic, continued at IDW. All done by Larry Hama.

Incredible. I had no idea it was still going.

There’s always Knights of the Dinner Table.

When Usagi reboots with Ice and Snow #1 it will be 270 issues written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Stan Sakai 

[Semicentennial]

Faust - 25 years to complete a 15 issue series. Tim Vigil's is both beautiful and horrific.  

[Readcomix]

Lotta Elfquest material out there. It’s gotta be in the mix.

That's funny - I just saw this topic and came here to mention FemForce.

[Dr Zen]

I know that it's nowhere near Cerebus or Savage Dragon, but if add them all up, Terry Moore's Strangers In Paradise has ~120 issues

I bought a 2nd print of that at half price books, I haven't read it yet, but often wondered who was like minded to buy it. Well recently anyway
