So what is your favorite comic of all time?

Could be one you own (just a comic you love or your most valuable) or one on your wish list?

With around 6,000 in my collection now, it's hard to pick just one, but this has to be near the top:

It's the one that got me started on collecting.

When it comes to stand alone single issues, a few have always stood out to me. I guess my favorite right now would have to be this one, since it's the one that first came to mind just now:




It's Frank Miller's final issue from his first run on the book. And guest inker Terry Austin actually makes Klaus Janson's pencils look good. It's a great little story that will leave you thinking.

This is the first comic I ever read given to me by my cousin so many years ago....

And this is the comic that got me hooked on reading comics. I was such a Star Wars fan growing up.

If it weren't for these 2 comics, I doubt I would have ever read comics growing up and would even bother with them now.

This one:



I know it's controversial, and fans love to hate it. But back when it came out, I was in grade school, and it floored me! The story was epic as hell. And you felt for Hal, even though he was doing evil things. You could see why he was doing and think, "damn, I feel story for the guy." And it was my introduction to one of my all-time favorite comic writers - Ron Marz. A new villain created, and a new GL on the way.

Plus that glow-in-the-dark cover couldn't be more awesome for a 10-year old.

This is the one that popped into my head right now. It's the first of a two issue story. I remember it seeming so different to my 11 year old mind because it was more a story about Peter dealing with some local thugs as himself and not as Spidey. I'd often recall this book even during the long years when I wasn't collecting comics.

A beat up copy of Iron Man #1 that I got in a trade as a kid. It's not the value so much as the fond memory of my childhood. Football in the street, riding bikes to the local 7-11, playing video games at an arcade by my house, collecting baseball cards and reading comics with my younger brother in our bedroom (bunk beds-woo hoo!!). Simpler times.
