I had to get to page 7 before someone mentioned Marvel Mystery?? Egads.

I'll go with Marvel Mystery as well, but Captain America, Whiz, and maybe Planet also come to mind.

You certainly get a lot of bang for your buck with some of the DC runs, especially Adventure: plenty of great debuts there. I could handle drooling over my own copies of the first Sandman, Hourman, Starman, etc. - plus you get the Legion a few hundred odd issues in. More Fun gives you plenty of variety as well.

And for sheer comic history, why in the world hasn't anybody mentioned Four Color??? We are a superhero-centric bunch at times, are we not?   :foryou:

people collect what they like?

The question wasn't "what is the most expensive or important run in the history of comics?" - just what run would you complete.

This is an easy one. Wonder Woman Vol.1. 

I do have 2 complete runs that I am really proud of. Vampirella Magazine and Heavy Metal Magazine. Both are 100% complete and the Vampirella magazine collection is all 8.5 or higher grade wise. I had a fire in 2008 and lost both of these collections so it was really satisfying finally getting them complete again.

Working on Lois Lane, Lana Lang and Supergirl covers. Action 252 is the only book that is gonna be $$$$. I tried to get one 10 years ago at the LCSs in town and one owner didn't even know what it was. Now he has a spine rolled copy on the wall for over 3000 bucks!

A short run of Mille Marie Star Spangled War would be sweet!

All Batgirl/Batwoman covers too! 

Wanted a Mary Marvel run but that issue 18 first appearance is no where to be found.
