The BEST single comic book issue I EVER read was...

I can't, too many great ones. Maybe I could do it by decades, but even that would be hard.

GOAT

As a relatively new comic reader, it was Avengers 274. I was stunned by what was happening: The Masters of Evil had overtaken the mansion and then beaten up Hercules, who appeared dead. WHAT??

As an experienced comic reader: Sandman 69, when Morpheus dies. The Kindly Ones was SO LONG, and I kept thinking he was going to get out of it. Even when Death showed up, I thought, OK, deus ex machina. But nope. When she told Dream, "It's far too late for that now," I was astounded. And then he takes her hand, and that's it for him. I am still floored just typing out all of that.

That run on Avengers came to my mind too. It is a personal favorite, with several great issues in it. I didn't select anything from it because I regard that as a body of work, and couldn't bring myself to select it over the issues that were its long, slow build up, and it's rollicking conclusion. Great pick tho.

It was a big deal back then having the most famous couple in comic-book history finally marrying, even if it wasn't on the Earth headlined at the time.

Do graphic novels count?

Cause I'm thinking A Contract with God by Will Eisner, or "La Couleur de l'Enfer" by Lewis Trondheim.

Con't see why they shouldn't count. And if Contract with God is your favorite book, you might want to look for this.

The price is steep, but i found one at a very good discount.

You never forget your first.
Art by Walt Simonson. Weird, shape-shifting heroes. A devilish villain. Giant monster-gods. Whats not to love?
I bought this of the rack at the local drugstore back in 1977 when I was 9 years old, read it ragged, and still have the remnants bagged and boarded in my collection.

[Jim Kelly]

Not the first I read, but the first issue of DETECTIVE COMICS I bought was 361 (March 1967) when I was eight. I read that issue ragged and have the remnants still--but have long ago since bought a fine copy. I still count it as one of the best, maybe the best, single issues I ever read. Not only was the Batman & Robin story a real corker, but the Elongated Man story was very good, giving some background on how Ralph became the Ductile Detective.

Mine's technically half an issue, but I've been thinking for two days about one that might beat it and I just can't:
