Because I get obsessions, and this is the current one. This thread is to celebrate those stories that were the next stage of Marvel comics, where we saw things such as the rise of the Micronauts, ROM, the resurrection of the X-Men, Doctor Strange, Man-Thing all getting titles. If you were a fan of this time period, this is a place for you to come and talk about your favorites, and possibly get me excited and blow money I don't have on these back issues lol.

When comics were 20 cents! This is definitely my era.
I think I bought just about everything back then.

My favorite bronze age books thus far have been:
Jim Shooter/George Perez's Avengers run.
Claremont/Cockrum/Byrne's Uncanny X-Men.
Claremont/Byrne's Iron Fist
Claremont's Ms. Marvel
Starlin/Englehart/Milgrom's Captain Marvel
Mantlo's Micronauts and ROM
and that's just what I've gotten ahold of and read thoroughly thus far.Last edited by Talisman; 05-11-2012 at 01:06 AM.

Dr. Strange. I love Dracula more, but he's not really part of the MU right now. You'll get more info on a current character if you go with Dr. Strange.

Englehart Doc Strange is some of the best Doc Strange ever done. After that, read Man-Thing, Howard the Duck and Defenders. Steve Gerber FTW Originally Posted by Talisman

You cant go wrong with either one. I may lean towards Tomb as it was really a part of that era and Strange has the luxury of other awesome adventures beyond the Bronze Age of comics. Originally Posted by Talisman
