    But if you can find a store or a convention with 25-cent boxes, you can afford 80 comics.

    Huh?

    six dollars? Where do you buy your comics?

    They're like, 3 dollars new on the stands, fool.

    And I was wondering WHICH single issues would be the best to get, not how many.

    Dr. Ghost said you can get 6 comics for 18 dollars on the stands. Doc said nothing about 6 dollars.

    I recommend X-men or Ghost Rider books, by the way.

    Find somewhere where they got a bargain bin and grab yourself a bunch of good comics for $1 each.

    I recommend 'El Diablo', a DC series that ran from 1989-1991. 16 issues, which leaves you four bucks to blow on hats.

    You could spend the other four on the Vertigo mini of El Diablo!

    Well that's not what you asked in your first post, so no need to get snappy at the people who answered it.
    I'm not you.
    So you know I'm right.

    It's time to take a reading retention test, because as someone else pointed out, he said six comics.

    Also, and more importantly, nowhere in your original post did you ask WHICH single issues, you only asked how many you could get.

    But 6 * 18 = 20. So the math checks out.

    This is what you should do. Try to get anything from the 70's. I spent 20$ at a con in the dollar bins, just picking up the weirdest cover taglines I could find.

    Justice League of America, The Defenders, Doctor Strange. Iron Man. There's some seriously bizarre stuff out there.
