In no particular order
Marvel/MiracleMan V for Vendetta Sandman Watchmen George Perez's run on Wonder Woman Y The Last Man 2000AD, up to about prog 500 Viz Legion Of Super Heroes, especially the Levitz/Giffen stuff around issue 300 Asterix and TinTin (always go together in my mind, as that's how I used to borrow them from my local library as a child) |

Am currently selling off the last of my collection to fund house improvements and the ones I will be most sorry to see go are the "Elektra Asassin" limited series by Frank Miller and "Big Bill" Sienkiewicz.
I almost completey missed the 90's as far as comics were concerned and anyway, such lists are always limited to who you were at the time you read any significant work, but in terms of later comics; "Planet Hulk" and Wolverine "Enemy of the State" and "Agent of Shield" both surprised me. I have never liked either character but found these comics highly readable. Actually gave them to some younger relatives of mine as starter comics - but there wasn't enough sex or violence in the comics for them.

Sparky include the strip set in the editorial office of the comic, and included characters like Throgmorton, the office junior, and the office cat. It also had Puss And Boots, about the eternally feuding cat and dog. There were some great surreal plots and images in that-as well as rather a lot of violence!
Whizzer and Chips included the strip Shiner, about a boy who regularly gets into fights, both giving and receiving black eyes! That strip wouldn't be allowed today, that's for sure! It also had Jimmy Jekyll, about the wimpy boy, who turns himself into a scary, tough character with a sip of his magic potion. Roy of the Rovers: the title character was a big, super-muscular footballer (a Scot, I believe) with blond, and very long hair (it was the 70s). I also vaguely recall a strip about a man with a robotic arm. Buster included the strip Faceache, about a boy who can contort his face, and body, into really grotesque, demonic, shapes. 'Scrunging' this process was called. The Beezer included the brilliant Numskulls, showing the interior layout of a man's head as a working organisation, with the Brain Department the senior management on the top floor, then the eye, ear, and nose departments as subordinate administrative sections, often coming into conflict, and the mouth department, with manual workers shovelling food down the man's throat. A lot of clever digs at inter-departmental relations, and intra-organisation and class conflict in that one! The Beezer also included Blubba, who was a pink alien, naturally shaped as a blob with eyes and a mouth, but able to take any shape he chose, who was kicked off a flying saucer onto planet Earth, and ended up lodging with some Earth family, and helping them, and others, with his shape-changing powers.

Buster (billed when first out as "Son Of Andy Capp") Monday
Dandy Tuesday Beano Thursday Valiant Monday Victor Tuesday Hotspher Thursday (forget how it was spelt) Beezer Thursday Topper Tuesday Chish and Fips There was a scotish one that was written in a scottish dialect and though funny it was a bit of a task to get just what was being said. There were the summer issues of some comics and of course the Christmas annual. Just a point of interest I used to get The Dennis the Menace and Beryl the Peril books that were put out evey two years so one year it was one then next year it was the other. |

I haven't really read that many comics. I just tend to wait for an interesting Marvel story arc and try and get into that.
Anyway here's my list: Rising Stars Civil War Star Trek/X-Men Essential X-Men House of M Girls Iron Man: Extremis Motion Comic The Ultimates The Age of Apolcalypse Incredible Hulk - The End |

These are quite different from the others, so I hope they count.
1. Bunty, 2. Judy, 3. Girl, 4.Mirabelle, 5. Boyfriend, 6. Dandy, 7. Beano, 8. Beezer, 9. Topper, 10. Playhour. It would be great if someone had the time to spare to work out which ones come top and the order of them all. |

Not in any order.
Promethia Top Ten Uncanny X-men 151 - 218 Legion of Superheroes The five year Gap reboot Stormwatch - Warren Ellis run The Authority 1 -24 Avengers 181 - 200 X-men days of Future Past (is is past? tense? there's been so many derivatives but the first one) Teen Titans - Wolfman Perez era Asterix and, top of the pile. The Invisibles - Grant Morissons seminal work though series three goes a bit weird. That's put me in a realiy good mood. |

Preacher has to be my #1 of all time. Epic comic.
For the rest, I would say the vast majority of anything by Neil Gayman, Alan moore, Garth Ennis and Frank Miller. Because I don't know too much about comics, I find following writers a great way to expose myself to new comics (such as Ennis's punisher run or Hellblazer). |

I had a TV21 (1969?) annual in very good condition and gave it away a few years ago. It was part strips, part short stories. I think I read later that they're collectors items?
