These types of threads usually end up being books that were read by the poster at a formative age. Most 10-13 or so. I wonder how many of these picks are from a later time ? Like maybe when you in your thirties.
Many people in their 30s go back to buying the books they had when they were 10-13 so no difference.
I mean how many books make a lasting impact in your later years of reading.

I pulled every Batman title in the 90s but gave up the lot with the conclusion of the awful No Man's Land (started well, but went to 💩). I briefly returned for Gaiman's issues, but they weren't good.

I quite enjoyed Hush. War Games was probably my favourite. Under the Red Hood and Court of Owls are also arcs that I enjoyed. I do plan to revisit those stories at some point.

This was the first Batman story I appreciated, appearing in an oversized DC treasury collection. In retrospect, its pedigree predicts its value. You'd certainly hope for something good by Harlan Ellison, Bernie Wrightson, Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, and Dick Giordano.

That was one of only a handful of treasury books I could ever afford to buy at when they were coming out. Such a great book and a great story.

Been a while since I've posted, but there were a couple of single issues that just hit right when I first read them many years ago and I still enjoyed them immensely later. Neither are "keys", and are rarely mentioned at all, but I'll still recommend them all day long. They are: Avengers 160 "The Trial" and Amazing Spider-Man 153 "The Longest Hundred Yards".
