And Further Adventures of Indiana Jones. I'm very close to completing this run...maybe 2 or 3 issues away, tops. It's a very underrated series and plus it has that nice nostalgia factor for me because I bought a fair few issues off of the newsagents' shelves back in the day. The first 15 issues or so of the run are especially great IMHO. DC Comics 1960-2010 (Yes. All of them.) Show off!   |

Glad to know we can count you among the number! Cei-U would be happy to know that I enjoy Danny Bulandi's inks over Steve Ditko as well! |

Longest runs I own aren't the entirety of either series, of course -- Superboy/Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes/Legion of Super-Heroes #s 108-354 & Captain America #s 215-454.
Otherwise, longest complete runs:
Birds of Prey 1-127
Legion of Super-Heroes (1989) 0-125
Master of Kung Fu 17-125
Nexus 1-101
DC Comics Presents 1-97
Ripley's Believe It or Not 1-94
Impulse 1-89
JSA 1-87
Catwoman 1-83
Legionnaires 0-81
Starman 0-80
L.E.G.I.O.N. 1-70
Badger 1-70
Supergirl 0-67
All-Star Squadron 1-67
Hawkman/Hawkgirl 1-66
Legion of Super-Heroes (1984) 1-63
Spectre 1-63
Hitman 1-60
Marvel Fanfare 1-60
Quasar 1-60
Captain Atom 1-57
Young Justice 1-55
And of course all 105 (by my count just now) non-reprint issues of Sgt. Fury & His Howling Commandos.
No doubt I'm forgetting at least a few ...

I have very few complete runs, because I don't usually stick with a series if I don't like the writer or artist. So I don't have a complete run of Howard the Duck, for example, because I believe there was a late issue written by Bill Mantlo or somebody. Same with MoKF - I think the last couple issues were written by someone other than Moench. I do have the complete first run of Man-Thing, since Gerber wrote every issue. And I have complete runs of some of the shorter-lived Marvel black & white mags, like Dracula Lives, Haunt of Horror, Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction, etc. And a lot of the Kirby solo series that were cancelled rather than passed on to other creators - The Eternals, The Demon, OMAC, etc. This very much describes my comic book horde. It's a means of keeping the mediocrity at bay. Howard the Duck is a good example. That's so much of Gerber in his book that without his creative force giving it life it all seems like gasping for air. Thor and Conan the Barbarian comic are other good examples. There is so much greatness to embrace in those at times legendary Marvel series, but there are also some really low stretches as well. It's the latter I have no interest in wasting money on. |

I'm down to just 5 more issues to complete the series, and what I've read so far has been pretty entertaining. |

May I ask how many long boxes that is? 164 Long, 75 short, and 24 magazine - 53,000 issues in all, which is more than just my 1960-2010 run. I've got 50% of all DCs published before 1960 about 75% of stuff after 2010. More than 6,500 of those are Marvels, plus a couple thousand are from other publishers.  |

Next time my wife tells me I have too many comics, I'm going to have to break this out  |

Let's see... Hawkworld (1-32); Micronauts (1-59); Master of Kung Fu (17-125); Strikeforce Morituri (1-29), Speedball (1-10); King Conan (1-55); Kull '85 series (1-10); Legion of Super Heroes Baxter series (1-63). I have all the Annuals and Giant-Sizes from the above if applicable including those two abominations that Ditko drew for the Micronauts annuals. Annoyingly close on ROM, All-Star Squadron, Arak, and Infinity Inc. I think I need 3 issues each. Longest straight runs though are Avengers 157-327 and Swamp Thing 56-171. 171 was just a B***h to find! Looking through my boxes this weekend I saw that I can add the Shadow Strikes! to my list. The recent Shadow series as well but that isn't classic yet. |

That's roughly 3x the size of my collection, and I am absolutely strapped for space in my attic. How do you find and access a book you're looking for? |
