Top 5 Runs You Would Bring To An Island

[C_Miller]

JSA by Goyer, Johns and Robinson (W/Hawkman by Geoff Johns)
Starman by Robinson
Sandman by Neil Gaiman
Swamp Thing by Alan Moore
Roy Thomas' All-Star Squadron/Infinity Inc.

All relatively long runs with Swamp Thing being the shortest at 44 issues. I did cheat a bit by joining a couple titles, but I think it's fair. I am several of my favorite smaller stories, but if I'm going to be on a desert island, length was something I wanted to consider.

[Flash Gordon]

Johns' AQUAMAN
Abnett's AQUAMAN
Castellucci's SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL/WOMAN
Moore's SWAMP THING
Robinson's STARMAN

GREEN LANTERN by Johns
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES by Levitz
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES by Giffen/Bierbaums
ACTION COMICS by Byrne
THE QUESTION by O'Neil

Man, that's five already? Certain things that I might have liked more didn't get chosen because they were much shorter so I was being a bit strategic there...

[Timothy Hunter]

If I had the misfortune of being in this situation, I would have to prioritize whatever's longest over absolute favorites. If I was trapped on a desert Island, a "solid" 100 issue run is probably more handy than a great 20 issue run.

Paul Levitz Legion of Superheroes
Marv Wolfman New Teen Titans/Titans
Mike Grell Warlord
Dick Dillin Justice League
The Flash Mark Waid

Doom patrol - morrison - because it always makes me laugh
Shade the changing man - Milligan- because its totally unique
Warlord - grell - because ive only read 1st ten issues but it was just quality story telling.
Northlanders - wood - just rock solid
The invisibles - because ive never read it.

[Shadowcat]

Oof. Just 5 runs...

I’m in a bit of a pre-Crisis mood, so I think I’ll go with 5 from that era.

Gerry Conway’s run on Batman & Tec (these were basically the same book, crossing into each other every 2 weeks)
Doug Moench’s run on Batman & Tec (same thing)
Roy Thomas’s runs on All-Star Squadron & Infinity Inc. I still pretend these all happened on Earth 2
Conway & Thomas’s run on Wonder Woman. Stellar overlooked era for my favorite character in all of fiction.
Wolfman/Perez run on New Teen Titans....
I’m going to really cheat here and bring my 6th with Levitz’s run on Legion of Superheroes up to issue 300.

Ugh. This is so hard. So many good books back then. Couldn’t even touch the Wolfman/Kane Action Comics run, the Bates/Infantino Flash run, Wolfman’s Green Lantern, the Barr & Aparo Brave & the Bold run, the Starlin/Wein DC Comics Presents, Kane’s Superman specials, Batman & the Outsiders, the Kane Atom minis. Ugh.

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing.
Matt Wagner's Sandman Mystery Theater
Grant Morrison's Animal Man
All-Star Comics Archives

Just whatever you do, don't bring that Green Lantern comic with the polar bear, to the island!
