To answer the thread, all of them. I want the 70's back in general so that I can exist then and collect comics as they are meant to be...printed on newsprint, 25 cents and on a spinney rack. YES!!! One of the things that I personally think is wrong with traditional comic-books still being published today (mostly super-heroes, but not only those) is that their general business plan hasn't changed. Their never-ending soap operas set in a shared universe still requires one to buy a large number of different titles every month. That used to be fine in the 70s and 80s, when comics were still what they were conceived as: inexpensive entertainment. Today? One needs to have Scrooge McDuck's bank account to afford it. Give me those cheap Marvel Two-in-one, Tower of shadows, Ka-Zar and Creatures on the loose... Even if they're not very good, they'd probably still be worth the price. Not so the $4.99 copy of New Avengers : Secret Wars: Secret Files: The death of Willie Lumpkin (part 1 of 7).

Oh, I forgot to mention Batman family and all of the team-up books, especially Marvel Two-in-One.

Oh, since DE Sinclair mentioned Levitz' Legion and the All-Star Comics revival, I'll add them to my list. The Levitz Legion might be my all time favorite run. Also, per Action Ace - Super Friends, JLA/ JSA and guest star team ups

Treasury Size editions.Superman comics with Ross Andru covers. Spider-Man comics with Romita covers. X-Men comics with covers that....actually applied to the inner story. Now it's just Wolverine with his mouth open all the time. I miss these too, and also the 100 page DC giant issues.

Super Friends Comic Books in mid-70'sI had about 20-30 of these books and my dad threw them out when I was about to move out in 84. I was mad at him for throwing it out. Company Cross-OversI kept a few of these including this one above you. I also love the X-Men and Titans too.

I wasn't around to enjoy the 70s. I was born at the end. However, I really should have lived my prime then.

That's some odd colouring for the Superman/Spidey treasury...was that a reprint I don't know about? I spotted a Spanish version somewhere too...

This is the original print version of Superman and Spiderman - 1st Crossover I actually have both - I just wanted to point that out. I got the White Version at the Comic Book Store that I go to and two years later while vacationing in Los Angeles visiting Disneyland - I stopped a Comic Book Store about 4 blocks from my motel and brought the orange version that I originally posted in the first place. That's a reprint according to the head clerk at the Comic Book Store in LA.

The X-Men Teen Titans crossover is a classic. I don't have (and have never read) Superman vs. Spider-Man. I had a chance to buy at my LCS a couple of weeks ago, but it was too rich for my blood.

Used to really love Super Friends. I still wish they'd incorporated Menagerie Man and the Overlord into the mainstream DCU, I thought the Overlord would have made a great JLA villain.

I also miss 70s styled DC horror comics such as Unexpected, Ghosts and Secrets of Haunted House. These were great also going into the 80s as well.
We don't get good horror comics now from DC.
