Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley Try collecting a complete run of any of the 150 issue or so long runs of girls romances, girls loves stories, heart throbs, secret hearts, young romance, young love or falling in love. First issues are cheaper than many of the early-mid 1960's  issues from each of those respective titles. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Hcanes I'm leaning towards Marvel Fanfare since I plucked 1/3 of the series out of the dollar bins in NM condition. I'm going to look at Green Lantern 1990 series but only start with the first 25 issues and go from there. I might also look at American Flagg and Wonder Man.

Kinda ironic now considering all the space I use. |

| @Studley_Dudley I've been reorganizing and re-boxing some of my books today. Some of what I'm seeing takes me back to my roots in 80's collecting. Here's a few thoughts, pretty much all cheapies: The Nam Micronauts Rom Strikeforce Muratori Elementals (already mentioned) Dreadstar Moon Knight first series Johnny Quest Grendel 1st color series New Teen Titans first series Moon Knight appearances (back in the day my brother and I hunted down all the books that had Moon Knight appearances before the first series came out. I think we got everything except WWBN 32). |

| Why not the best single storyline ever constructed in comic book history, the fourth world Trilogy with Mister Miracle, new gods, forever people, and accompanying issues from Jimmy olsen and Lois lane....superb massive tapestry type storyline to read all in a row properly | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatsonNo offense taken, but you lay the books out in the order issued, read the storyline as it was meant to be read, including the Lois lane and Jimmy olsen issues and it forms a massive tapestry that is pretty much unequalled since. I agree the lack of a good ending, and the various attempts to hijack the series to add new endings, and then bring the characters back has gotten way out of hand for sure. But the original series and its entries do form a rather good read. Jack Kirby received a Shazam Award for the original metaseries in the category "Special Achievement by an Individual" in 1971.[70] In 1998, Jack Kirby's New Gods by Jack Kirby, edited by Bob Kahan, won both the Harvey Award for "Best Domestic Reprint Project" and the Eisner Award for "Best Archival Collection/Project". |

| Jack Kirby 100% intended the story to be finite and have a definitive ending. DC brass got involved and didn't allow Kirby to do that forcing him to change his original story idea on the fly. | ||

| Another point worth making here...the title of the thread is advice on a run to collect. From that standpoint this is a solid target for collecting with its dozens of key first appearances, from Darkseid to highfather, Big Barda to Mister miracle, its supposed satire of Stan lee, all of the kirby writing and art, and even its age and time period issued. This storyline is coming up on being 50 years old soon, so vintage definitely fits here. Classic kirby art, storytelling, and multiple new characters introduced make this a sold run just to collect, nevermind read | ||

| Going through this thread while re-boxing my dreck inspired me to fill in the holes in my Elementals and original New Teen Titans runs. Kind of looking forward to reading those runs again, 35 years later. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town I do have full runs of Dazzler, Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, Savage She-Hulk, and Sensational She-Hulk. Nothing but love for the ladies. Love me some Dazzler and Dakota North. Those are all in my girl power box. I don't have much in the way of DC chicks. Thought about a Huntress run since it is 19 issues. |

| the seventies run of supergirl is sort of campy but its a good investment with the backup stories the first several issues being Zatanna, as well as reprinting her origin in issue 5 I think issue 7 even has a supergirl/Zatanna cover another good run of books to get is Adventure comics from around issue 400, and then supergirl stories begin, as well as more Zatanna fillers. 428-430 give the intro and origin of black orchid, and then issues 431 forward through 440 have Spectre covers and stories with awesome covers by Aparo..... |

Quote:Originally Posted by GinosdadThat is a vastly underpricced and well done run of books with alot of intros scattered through the stories. Also worth noting Mcfarlane apparently did pencils and or covers for issues 13-38 or roughly 25 issues....go find a series that he has done with 25 consecutive issues by Todd priced as cheaply as these books are now. ...not the easiest thing to do these days |
