    I don't know if this was the same with anyone else, but for me there was always an element of extra value when you had a book with more than one hero.

    Justice League rocked because it was Superfriends in comic book form with the DC Big Guns of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern etc etc.

    Superman Family and Batman Family were cool because they had Supergirl, Robin, Batgirl etc in addition to the title hero.

    Loved Marvel Team Up pairing Spiderman with another hero, Marvel Two In One which paired the Thing up, and The Avengers because it was packed full of cool characters like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor etc.

    I always coveted The Treasury Editions that paired up Superman and Spiderman, or had Superman racing The Flash on the cover.

      Thanks for reminding me! Add Adventure Comics to my list of 70s reads as well as World's Finest (The Dollar Comics versions).

                      Since I was only 5 when the 70s ended, this is a bit of a cheat. But I begged my Mom to buy these on a regular basis:
                      Action
                      Superman
                      Superman Family
                      DC Comics Presents
                      Adventure (had a few of these)
                      Batman
                      Detective
                      Brave and the Bold
                      Justice League of America
                      World's Finest
                      Amazing Spider-Man
                      Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man
                      Captain America
                      Marvel Team-Up
                      Marvel Tales with Spidey
                      Spidey Super Stories

                      I had a few titles that I had one issue here or there of, but those were the ones I had multiples of off the rack in the 70s.

                          From the seventies....

                          Hmmmm....

                          Lessee, I was just ten in '74 and I was IN LOVE with SUPERMAN and THE AVENGERS.

                          From my love of Superman, came fondness for World's Finest, Batman, Green Lantern and The Justice League. Also got my first taste of "scary" with Swamp Thing and House of Mystery.

                          After my love affair THE AVENGERS, I became addicted to Iron Man, Thor, The Fantastic Four, The Hulk and, of course, eventually, Spider-Man. I always looked forward to either walking or riding my bike up to the nearby Convenient Food Mart or Eight Mile Pharmacy (both of which are now long defunct), taking the dollar my Mom gave me out of my pocket and plunking it down for several new issues of the above mentioned comics as well as a Charms Sweet n' Sour pop and a box of rock candy.

                          When I got older, I developed an interest in war comics and Marvel's version of Dracula.

                          In '76, Marvel came out with a book called THE MAN CALLED NOVA and it put me over the top. I loved that book (as did another, more minty board member). After that, it was like someone turned on a faucet of geeky goodness with Micronauts, Godzilla (Marvel's is still my favorite comics interpretation---Doug Moench just had away with the Big G no one else has had since!), Shogun Warriors, ROM, etc.

                          Overall, I'd say the seventies were a good time to be reading comics....
                          sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                            I had an eclectic mix of stuff and was maybe reading at a higher level than I needed to. I remember devouring war comics like Haunted Tank and Sgt. Rock and also Green lanter/Green Arrow. It had some adult themes I probably shouldn't have been reading. I balanced that out with Shogun Warriors, Micronauts, Godzilla and Devil Dinosaur. I think I was into Brave and the Bold too.
                            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                              Whatever my dad would bring me home since I too young to buy on my own! Since I liked Spider-Man it would usually be Amazing, Spectacular Marvel Tales or Team-Up. A few Hulks made it in as I remember. Things picked up a but in the 80's when I got older. 70's books have since become my favorite with full runs of ASM from that time, Spectacular, Team-Up, Marvel Two-One, Spider-Woman, and Defenders in my collections. Almost done with my Avengers and Brave & Bold runs run from that period and am enjoying them quite a bit. Also have a surprising fun Wonder Woman run from the 70's as well. Batman, Detective and Justice League will probably be next.
