...it can be a single issue, a trade, a hardcover, a pre-bagged mini-series... ONE item. Your family and pets and computers are already safe.

What comic do you save?

Wow, tough call.  I lost everything in a house fire in 1993, including my comics, but I had quit reading in 1989.  I’ve been rebuilding the collection since 1994. 
I would have to say my leather bound Complete Frank Miller Batman.  It contains two of my favorite stories ever, and I don’t think you can find that particular packaging  many places these days.  My Amazing Omnibus would be a close second, but I am pretty sure I could easily replace it if need be.

Just one would be Miracleman 15. Although since it is in a box with the rest of my Miracleman run, I would probably just grab all of them.

Well if it it is only one issue....


I know this may sound a bit off.... But I may grab my copy of Avengers Annual 10. At least I wouldn't be able to read it all before the fire deptartment showed up. Plus orginal evil Rogue, Spider-Woman and Ms Marvel. Pretty awesome issue.

But I doublt that I would grab only one issue. I could see me grabing a long box and running back in for a few more. I don't think I would give my comics up without a fight.

I might grab my copy of LSH #294. That issue was pretty awesome as well.

If I could ever find a copy of Fear Agent #1 (Dark Horse) with the cover by JACK DAVIS, I would make that my pick. That is a sweet cover to an awesome issues. It is the only Varient cover I have wanted outside of Herb Trimpe Savage Dargon cover from SD #156.

Oh, damn. Sorry if I'm bringing back unhappy memories. Good choice, though!

I would probably grab my ASM omnibus.  Over 1000 pages of Ditko and others classic goodness.

I can also use it as a weapon if the apocalypse is upon us at this time as well...

Extra points for practical thinking.

My copy of The Brave and the Bold #28 - it's the one I have the most sentimental attachment to. (I mowed a lot of lawns when I was 11 to be able to afford that fucker.)

FF#1 for sure.

Showcase #12 is a close second.

TOUGH call...it would be devastating to me, both financially and emotionally. I guess my copy of Giant Sized X-Men #1. Not my most valuable issue when I bought it, but probably the one I would miss the most and have the hardest time ponying up for now in this crazy inflated market for high grade X-issues.
