I consider West Coast Avengers #1 (LS) the first comic that made me want to rush into the comic shops every week (and pretty much buy everything that Marvel published). And, what about that Cap run? Sure, like many others I prefer Zeck's art to Neary's but that was a great run!
ReplyDeleteOf all that stuff, the one I would like to have more is the Captain America VS Skull Saga. De Matteis run was impressive, and we have no Mike Zeck on this one, still it is a classic, and there is litle maerial collected from that great run.
