Favorite 80s run

[camilo1292]

The 80s are my favorite period in comics, there are a lot of great runs. Which ones are your favorites of them all?
Mine would be:

Daredevil - Frank Miller
Uncanny X-Men - Claremont/Byrne
Swamp Thing - Alan Moore
Ronin - Frank Miller
Akira - Otomo

[Judge Dredd]

Dredd - Wagner/Grant
New Teen Titans
Swamp Thing by Moore
Fantastic Four by Byrne
Daredevil - Miller
Thor - Simonson

[Avengers1986]

Uncanny X-men with Claremont Byrne
Avengers with Stern/Buscema/Palmer
Captain America J.M. Dematties/Mike Zeck and the Mark Gruenwald/Paul Neary issues
Amazing Spidey with Stern/Romita Jr and Defalco/Frenz
Spectacular Spider Man with Peter David and then Conway/Buscema

[Rincewind]

I started reading in the early '80s so I have a lot of favorites. In no particular order, they are:

Amazing Spider-Man by Stern/Romita Jr. and Defalco/Frenz
Avengers and West Coast Avengers by Stern, Englehart, and others
Incredible Hulk by PAD
Thor by Simonson
Captain America by Gruenwald

I loved the various mini series by Marvel during this period. There were some classic stories there.

Falcon
Wolverine
Hercules ( 2 series)
Squadron Supreme
Eternals
Vision and Scarlet Witch

I was Marvel exclusive reader until the late 80s. But I got into the post Crisis DC era around 1989 and went into the back issues for the earlier stuff.

Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen by Alan Moore
JL/JLI/JLA/JLE by Giffen, et al
Flash
Superman by Byrne and others

and as for as independents I got the back issues for

Miracleman
Dreadstar

There was a lot of other stuff I read back then. But looking back, most of it was mediocre or outright bad. No matter how bad some of the titles I read, I will always cherish the memories of visiting the local comic book store or 7-11 back then.

Iron man gotta be my favorite still collecting them today . I think were on volume 9 or 10 now . Lost count not sure in superior and international are considered in volume run .

[wwise03]

In the spirit of answering the question posed (i.e., which ONE is your favorite), rather than listing every 80s comic book I like, I will say my one favorite is Claremont's X-Men run.

[kp404]

Swamp Thing by Alan Moore sits alone at the top with no close competition. A true masterpiece.

Others that were great include Ostrander's Suicide Squad, Miller's Daredevil, Stern's Spider-Man, and Claremont's X-Men. I need to read Grell's Green Arrow asap

Hellblazer started in 88 and the first 2 years were great. Delano/Ridgeway

This is definitely true - I love Delano on Hellblazer - but man, choosing between it and Swamp Thing... damn that's hard.
