Silver Age Hierarchy - pre poll list request

33 posts in this topic

Thought its would be interesting to redo the poll with all the changes in the last 5 years.

 

I'll set up the poll to reduce entries down to 30 on May 20th.

 

Please suggest issues to be included in the poll?

 

Wayne-Tec's hierarchy thread reminded me of the fact that we have had a number of list the top ten threads where each person lists their own top ten.

 

We haven't though had a poll for some time.

 

Poll would involve:

 

a.) Determining the long list (the more the better) - this thread.

b.) Creating the 30 comic short list - 1st poll (30 votes each)

c.) Determining the positions of each comic in the final 30 - 3 day poll per position by which we vote off the lowest 3 comics

 

Aim of the vote will be to determine the top 30 books of the SA in terms of importance (not value which of course is one indicator).

 

As with all these types of threads there will be books that have an obvious position (AF#15) but it will be interesting to see where the rest of the order ends up.

Others?

 

Maybe Challengers of the Unknown 1? If you buy the idea that they were an FF prototype, then maybe their importance merits including the first issue of their own book in addition to their first appearance in Showcase 6.

Most of these ones wouldn't have been on the list five years ago but might fit considering prices/demand nowadays:

 

B&B #25 (1st Suicide Squad)

Batman #139 (1st original Batgirl)

Marvel Super-Heroes #18 (1st Guardians of the Galaxy)

Superboy #68 (1st Bizarro)

Superman's Lois Lane #1

WW #98 (1st SA Wonder Woman)
