For the purposes of a joke in a comic strip I'm drawing I have a character living in a comic shop hiding in boxes of comics that he KNOWS will never be looked at because they are so non-collectable.
So the question I have is, what should be written on the box? My first thought would be 'Atlas Seaboard' but I'm sure you guys have better suggestions.
Help please?

Well, obviously X-Men #1 by Claremont and Lee.

A box saying "Rob's Liefeld's Greatest Hits" would likely go unopened.

My collection personally, since initially reading it? Dark Knight Returns.
As far as universally, as pinkfloyd mentioned, Rob Liefield is almost universally disliked, as well as a lot of Image, and to some extent a lot of comics in general from the 90's. Some of the old timers here might feel the same about Crisis on Infinite Earths the way some youngins do about the 90s. Bad girl comics (Lady Death, 90's Vampirella, Lady Rawhide, Fathom, Nira X, etc) are disliked by many.

But I think uncollectable doesn't mean disliked but so wildly available that liked or not, its collectability is non existant. I'm sure there are some super bad comics highly collectable because old and scarce. |

 I never heard of anyone, or seen at any convention, collectors of Charlton Hot Rod comics |

I've bought some of those!
But, really, the correct answer is "Youngblood # 1."
Atlas/Seabord is hell of collectible! Everyone loves Ironjaw and Planet of the Vampires! Right? Er..... right?

I've read - and seen anecdotal evidence at shows - that the Image/Valiant crossover Deathmate is pretty much the least collectible thing ever. It was heavily ordered, then delayed for months, so when it came out nobody bought it and retailers were left with boxes and boxes of leftover copies. I've seen a whole longbox of Deathmate issues at shows before.

Any number of 90s comics that were going to put the kids through college and are now moldering in long boxes everywhere.

Malibu Adventure series.
Seriously, just try tracking down full runs of these comics today. They have been rightfully deleted from our collective memories, and considering what else was being churned out alongside them in the '90s, that's pretty bad.

"Malibu Adventure Series" gets me nothing on google. That's pretty damn impressive. |

According to GCD, that was a brand Malibu used and the only title that used it was a 4 issue limited series called Ape City that was tied into The Planet Of The Apes story. |

Check out the link above. I actually have at least six different titles from that imprint in my collection right now (though I'd happily get rid of all of them  ) I think it was their imprint for officially licensed properties. I know it included all five Planet of the Apes titles (one ongoing, four limited series), Alien Nation, and Logan's Run. |
