Favorite Titles in the 70s?

[emeraldknight47]

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.

::smacks self in head::

Duh! How could I have forgotten about DEVIL DINOSAUR! AND all the cool MARVEL TREASURY EDITIONS I bought (and their DC counterparts)! I remember seeing the very FIRST Spider-Man Marvel Treasury Edition at Eight Mile and having to beg and plead to borrow a buck from my Mom to pay for it. She give it to me---after I cleaned out the gutters on the garage and helped her rake up some yard debris!!! Still have it, too!

I read a lot of stray issues of other stuff. I began picking up other titles in the 80s.

It's weird, my pull list is very similar today.

Loved Treasury Editions. I sold off all my back issues in the early 1990s, but I could not part with my treasuries. They were too beat up to get a decent price. Glad I kept them. Still love thumbing through them from time to time.

I don't think the paper they printed those on at the time was standard issue newsprint, but only a step or two higher. Don't you love the smell of those treasury editions when you open them up? Patticularly when I go through the MTE with Thor fighting Hercules, the smell reminds me of the Christmas night I spend devouring the whole thing whilst eating little ham sandwiches and Christmas cookies since I got it as a Christmas present. Good, good memories...!

Ah, in the Seventies I could (and did) ACTUALLY buy almost everything that came out. The only things I skipped were the romance books still hanging around & the Charlton versions of the Hanna-Barbera stuff. But stuff I remember fondly were:


The Brave & The Bold (Aparo!)
Kamandi (Kirby!)
Secret Society of Super-Villains (Captain Comet!)
DC Specials & One -Shot Specials (Super-Heroes vs. Super-Gorillas!)
Justice League of America (Dick Dillin!)
Marvel Two-In-One (The Thing & Tigra!)
The Flash (Irv Novick!)
Warren b/w titles (Vampi!)
Hercules Unbound (Garcia-Lopez!)
Space Family Robinson (Lost in Space on Space Station One!)
Gold Key & Whitman comics (3 pack plastic bags!)
Hot Wheels (Toth!)

How long can I go on...?
