NP_Gresham Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Great topic! As so many have said before, FF #51 'This man this monster' is a masterpiece. Was always partial to Hulk #222 as a young Hulk collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver Signs Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Xmen Annual 4 stands out for me - Nightcrawler’s Inferno. Dr Strange helps the Xmen recover the soul of Nightcrawler trapped in hell. Travelling through the circles of Hell battling demons along the way. Based on Dante’s Inferno and actually inspired me to find Dante’s Divine Comedy in my local library.

sfcityduck Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Is DareDevil 164 "Bronze"? If so, don't know why it has not been mentioned yet. One of the most visually great stories ever. A truly fantastic origin re-telling. Complete with Krigstein homages: Edited May 16, 2019 by sfcityduck Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was issue 169 that made me take notice. A self-contained masterpiece in one issue.

Crimebuster Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Our Fighting Forces #152 - "A Small Place in Hell" by Jack Kirby. Visceral, tense combat action from start to finish. You can just feel it as it builds and builds. Each individual panel is a small masterpiece.

ft88 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Marvel and DC Present X-men and Teen Titans. Nice story art and characters. Darkseid, Dark Phoenix, Terminator Wolverine battle, Simonson art at his best - what more do you want? I'll Second the Superman Moore one shots. Perfect issues. I'll Second the Death of Captain Marvel Amazing Spiderman 267 - When Cometh the Commuter. Not deep, but a truly funny one shot story. http://www.chasingamazingblog.com/2013/12/12/amazing-spider-man-267-and-the-funniest-spider-man-comic-ever/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Man_Adam Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Tough topic ... so many great one shots but we’re more accustomed to ongoing epics now a days as a marvel fan I’ve always been partial to “ God Loves , Man Kills “ it deals with visual racism and other serious topics while never preaching and still is a pretty good albeit dated x-men story with the “ new “ team Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Dark Knight Returns were the others! I LOVE the fact this thread is so old that greggy is here commenting in complete sentences on the actual contents of a comic book! And, for the record, I called out Conan #24 The Song of Red Sonja back in September 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
