I definitely liked a lot of the runs for Marvel circa 1979-81. Some of the titles that got or stayed interesting to me after that were Ka-Zar and Micronauts which I subscribed to when they went direct (though I missed the first direct only issues and had to catch up through one of the two comic shops we had not too long after)... also Doctor Strange was really good from #48. I had bought it before that when I could find it but it was easy to take Gene Colan for granted maybe, or the stories were not super memorable. The New Defenders, which got a revamp with #125 that kept me coming back every month for awhile, a very oddball collection of characters helped. The New Mutants was pretty decent up to Sienkewicz joining, and then it got pretty hot wondering what they'd do next, but I left around or just after the Legion character story, but very unique. The X-Men was a mixed bag and in decline to me though I bought it up to #200 and then tried to get back into it once more around 206-209 but... didn't. Spider-Woman by Claremont & Leialoha was another high point, #34-46. Thor by Walt Simonson from #337-on, Fantastic Four and Alpha Flight by John Byrne. Oh yeah, and Moonshadow at Epic.

Outside of Marvel in the early-mid '80s I liked Zot, Mars, Aztec Ace, Elfquest, Rocketeer, first couple of Mark Schultz' Xenozoic Tales. DC's Swamp Thing I got into for awhile with Alan Moore writing and Tottleben-Bissette art. Firestorm I bought every month for a long time. I kept up with Legion Of S-H and New Teen Titans a year or so into the baxter run and also liked Camelot 3000. I bought the furst couple regular new Superman titles by Byrne and or Ordway, plus Dark Knight and the first few Watchmen but was kind of out the door for comics entirely after the death of Supergirl.
