I haven't read a Legion comic since the 90s. What made this book a winner? It's not about the Legion. |

Superman #121 While it's not slam-bang action, this is a great story about Superman confronting gang violence.  Sometimes even the Man of Steel can't save them all. It's very poignant and one of Jurgens' best writing (IMO)  |

For a pure Kirby fun and funky visual feast: Marvel Treasury Edition: Captain America's Bicentennial Battles kept me going back time and again.

Offered for your consideration:    NB: Probably could have posted any issue of Bat Lash here. |

Biggest Bang For Your Buck (98 cents actually) during the Silver Age could very well be the Wham-O Giant Comic. Even bigger than the Tabloid-sized comics that came out later from Marvel and DC. Wouldn't say all the strips were classics but you did get contributions from Wally Wood , Ernie Colon, Warren Tufts, John Stanley and Bob PowellThe one big problem was where did you store this behemoth. 21 inches tall and 14 inches across  |

At that time, Hawkman had a series in 'World's Finest', in which Hawkgirl was 'lost in space' for a long spell. They decided to acknowledge this in the following issue of 'Justice League'. I would simply have included her, with a footnote to the effect that this issue took place before her enforced absence. Leaving one member out just seemed slightly off, to me. Agreed. The result was that there was never a JLA story that featured the entire early-80s roster of 15 heroes. Hawkgirl's last appearances prior to this issue were #190*(in an active role) and #195 ( a cameo). She would not take an active part in a JLA adventure again until #221. *#190 was the second part of a Starro 2-parter, in which every then-current Leaguer appeared...except the Atom. |

But how can I answer that when I've seen so much praise on these threads for stories or series I considered rubbish. Your mileage may vary. Considering that it would take days to read through the whole book, then yes, some of it was good, some average, much forgettable. |

Stuff like that along with Crisis at Hand are my personal favorites. Superman/Clark Kent dealing with real issues when not being hassled by supervillains

 Giant pages of two guys pummeling each other, destroying everything in sight. The greatest truth-in-advertising of all time, brought to you by Scott McCloud. |

They all seem to be like that.  |
