From Beginning to End. Let's see the bookends of your favorite completed series... 2 2

[Krydel4]

Here are the Bookends of 4 of my personal favorite series that I collected from beginning to end. Preacher, Sandman and Superman Adventures I collected from issue 1 to the end. Transformers I started at issue 7 and went to the end (picked up 2-6 in back issues from my LCS, #1 was a birthday gift). What ones do you still have?

Happily, the series restarted a few years later and is still running toward 200!

Not really, it's an original North American comic book heavily influenced by the manga and anime Ben Dunn was exposed to as a kid in Taiwan and onward.

Because of my own personal cutoff points of runs I have very few that are complete from the very beginning to the actual end.

The technical first and last issues of the Silver Age Doom Patrol run (forever my #1 series) 

If you want to expand a bit, the first real Doom Patrol comic, from My Greatest Adventure which became the Doom Patrol series, and the last issue of the run technically, although it was in reprints at the time...

I'm going to cheat a bit because I couldn't play without it.  This is a run I completed in the mid-1970s without really realizing that's what I'd done.  I've picked up a large number of books beyond my teenage collecting but no longer have a complete run.

Recency bias for American Flagg as I read both volumes and found it very enjoyable and layered.

Love my complete run of Starman from 1994-2001. (0-80) Not worth much to sell, but I love the great storytelling and the art. If you haven’t read it, I recommend.
