I loved What If and The Avengers during most of the 70's. What if went away (for a while) and the Avengers took such a turn in the 80's that I stopped reading comics all together. I think I didn't pick up a new monthly until around 2001.

Any thread that mention SSOSV and THE JOKER series
is okay by me"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Secret Society of Super-Villains
Return of the New Gods
Aquaman
Showcase
Batman Family
World's Finest
Challengers of the Unknown

^^ With Showcase the three issue Power Girl story was the best, Hawkman wasn't bad and the last issue with OSSi spys at war wasn't bad, Challangers of the unkown issues 80 thru87 is a good readComment

^ There really wasn't much to the Showcase revival besides those guys and Doom Patrol. A lot of the stuff planned for later issues ended up elsewhere...like the Deadman story.Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

What a cool thread.
Green Lantern/Green Arrow - Maybe a little advanced reading for a youngster based on subject material.
Anything with Shazam
PowerMan and Iron fist - I had every issue at one point and had their solo 70's stuff as well.
Richard Dragon Kung Fu Fighter - THe long title make me laugh now.
Shogun Warriors - I'd like to see this collected in a trade sometime.
Micronauts - Same as above.
ScottI almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment

These were my faves. Brave and the Bold too. World's Finest and Batman Family got alot of my cash!
I really loved DC's Dollar Comics as a kid
Batman Family and Tec when it absorbed it in and went "Dollar-sized"
World's Finest had great backups with Green Arrow, Black Canary, Shazam and others.
Superman Family had Mr. and Mrs. Superman! What a neat feature on the Earth 2 Supes.

>TV 21 Comic
I've seen little sniglets from this one over the years and yeah, it looks liek they did a oot of good stuff. It was mostly tv tie-ins, wasn't it? (I remember a few prisioner stories.)
>I know its from the 80's but I really miss "Warrior" also
Never got to see it; but I keep running into folks who remember it quite fondly.
>I LOVE the '70 STARFIRE Series all 8 issues of it!
I thought I was the only person who remmebered this one....
Other good 70's books:
-Doctor Spektor
-the Marvel Star Wars comic
-Where Monsters Dwell. (Even though it was all reprints. I didn't know that way back when....)
-those DC reprints of old stuff like Space Heroes and UFO Invasion.
-the Warren mags. (Wish mine hadn't drownt all them years ago; I could really use a custom of the Crime Crusher. "Did I just hear a 'POOMPH?!?")
-The Eternals
-Scary Tales (I actually have a custom of the Baroness in the works.)
-Creepy Things
-Midnight Tales (One of my favouritest comics EVER!)
