In a discussion on the most important stories of the decade, the question was asked if the current decade was the craziest ever. And that got me thinking about the most important stories of previous decades. The 1980s are my favorite decade of the comics, so it's worth considering the important stories.

Here's my list...

10. Cloak & Dagger debut (Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #64)
9. The Death of Jean Dewolff brings darkness to Spider-Man/ change his partnership with Daredevil (Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #107-110)
8. Kraven's Last Hunt
7. "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" is the definitive story of Spider-Man meeting fans (Amazing Spider-Man #248)
6. Black Cat becomes a major love interest (Amazing Spider-Man #226-227)
5. "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut" is the definitive Spider-Man battle (Amazing Spider-Man #229-230)
4. The Debut of the Hobgoblin (Amazing Spider-Man #238-239)
3. The wedding (Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21)
2. The Alien Costume/ Mary Jane reveals she has always known Peter's secret identity (Amazing Spider-Man #252-259)
1. Debut of Venom & Todd McFarlane (Amazing Spider-Man #298-300)

What do you guys think? Is there something I left out? Would you rank it differently?

I'll note that this is asking about significance, rather than quality.
