Hmmm...I know I'm gonna leave stuff out but here goes. I'm starting with 1986, which was the year that I began collecting as a hobby, instead of random issues once or twice a year. Anything prior to `86 was random impulse buys if I had 75 cents or I was good enough for my parents to get me one.

The 1980's were among the best comics Marvel ever produced, MANY of which have BEEN named here. But, I am surprised that neither of the two BEST titles have yet been listed. Master of Kung Fu by Monech and Gulacy is without a peer. My very favorite comic in the 80's. The SECOND was Conan the Barbarian by Thomas and Bucema, with Savage Sword being a glorious supplement to the four-color comic. It's ALMOST dispairing that these superior comics have not yet been mentioned. In my opinion the BEST of the lot. Excelsior!!
Thank you, Samurai32. You are correct. Crom and Mitra I must be getting old. Either that or I have fallen prey to those ongoing games of deceit and death. Nahhhh...I'm getting old. Thanks again Samurai32, I guess I'm at the stage where the decades are bumping up against one another. Sheesh! Shalom.
She-Hulk added a great change-up to the Fantastic Four as well.
