Mine has to be Swamp Thing #1 - #10. Illustrated by Berni Wrightson.

What's yours?

[Shadowflash]

1. Xenozoic Tales

Hands down! Mark Schultz is the best comic artist in the biz.

I love Wrightson's stuff, too, but I thought the Nestor Redondo ones that followed Wrightson were better. Redondo is my second favorite illustrator next to Schultz.

2. Animal Man 1-26

Grant Morrison's first masterwork. Issue 5, "The Coyote Gospel," is the point where you realize this is more than just another comic.

3. I've only been collecting for about 10 years but

I think my favorite is The Death of Steve Rogers, I believe its Captain America #42. That was like a shot in the gut, didn't see it coming at all.

4. "Stinz" by Donna Barr

I love them all (even though I know I'm likely missing some issues.) Here's a link to the first of the series, for those not familiar with him (or Barr) :

“Andri's Christmas Shoes”
The first appearance of Stinz in publication, based on a post-card design that showed Stinz getting a pair of shoes. Stinz promises his young colt Andri his first pair of steel shoes for Christmas. Andri is all excited about it, until the neighbor's colt Veit tells him that the nails will hurt, and the shoes will burn. This is where Barr's publishing career began, in the very first issue of the classic Eclipse Comics series The Dreamery.

Stinz is the story of a centaur, although he'd prefer it if you called him a Half-horse. Stinz is a big blond stallion, black as night on the hair end, whose excellent animal instincts and fine human brain too often cancel each other out. In a series that follows his life from clumsy colt and accidental soldier to legendary war hero and mayor of his small home town, Stinz never fails to be in the middle of his world's events. It's not OUR world, but what difference does that make?

5. The only thing of substance

I have is the Death of Superman, not sure I have any other single comic issue that is worth more than cover price.

6. Value

Not about value. Swamp Thing isn't the most valuable in my collection.

Think of it like this. The house is empty, there's jazz on the turn table and brandy in a snifter. Which comic do you grab complete the chill down picture?

[Broken_Hero]

12. In that case,

either Kingdome Come, or The Dark Knight Returns....

7. That's a hard question.

I'll initially cop out and say it depends on what mood I'm in.

That being said, I collected comics in the late 80s and then, for a variety of reasons, got out of it only to come back to it now. I recently bought a lot of Thor comics off eBay (300-399 with the applicable annuals) for a very reasonable price (about $1.75/comic) and I love them. I mean, hey, that has the whole Walt Simonson run! What strikes me most is how splashy current comics have gotten and how little I realized it. Reading one of the comics I pull now takes maybe 5 minutes tops (depending on how much time I take to appreciate the art). Thor from the late 70s into the 80s has a LOT more text and story.

8. Creepy & Eerie

Those comics were good for introducing the young to classics like HP Lovecraft and Ambrose Bierce.

[Goblinmonger]

9. Oh, man, I'm a high school English teacher

Talk of Lovecraft and Bierce make me swoon.

[Codeine]

10. The very first Lovecraft piece I ever read was in Eerie.

Or maybe it was Creepy, come to think of it.

Anyway, it was "Cool Air" by Bernie Wrightson, and that reading single, beautifully-illustrated story made me a lifelong fan of weird fiction in general and Lovecraft in particular.

[WovenGems]

11. The Damn Thing

Was my introduction to Ambrose. I figured when he wrote the story science had just played with the light energy spectrum and Ambrose thought if there are sounds we can't hear then are there colors we can't see.

13. My favorate was buying Spiderman #1 from a 4th grade school classmate for .30...

I had started to read Spiderman at about issue 20 and I remember I had just bought 28 or 29 when I bought the #1 so it wasn't all that much of a deal.

I held on to it until my collection, modest but with some real valuable books like the above mentioned as well as Cap America 100, FF 12 and Superman 32, sold for 100 bucks in 1972...

14. Avengers #160

Written by Roy Thomas, cover by George Perez.
Don't know why, but this was my favorite comic

15. spiderman issue 20/
