For me, 1980 was an amazing year for comics. I collected all of the Moon Knight issues, my sister collected the Savage She-Hulk comics. I really enjoyed reading Marvel comics from that period of time, and they inspired me to become an artist and a writer. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my childhood with your marvelous channel.
Thank YOU for watching! Glad you enjoyed this. I am thinking about going on to 1981 and so on in future Top Tens
@@LarrysLibrary Definitely look forward to watching them Larry. Thanks again.
@@TheMukeshGandhi You are welcome
Great memories!! I had them all!!! Excellent art and stories!!!
Thanks! So much happened that year!
Man, that X-Men 139 is still an iconic cover. Kitty Pryde's introduction is still my favorite run of the X-Men, and she's my favorite X-Man as well.
But you said you were 12 in 1980... which means I'm older than you. Oh well. If you'll excuse me, it's time for my nap.
Hah-hah! I LOVE a good nap!
Transformers *mostly* originated from two 70s era Japanese toy lines from Takara: Diaclone and Microman, which made up maybe around 85% of the original toys. Hasbro licensed the toys and released them here as Transformers in 1984. They did well enough that Takara licensed the "transformers" brand backand re-released them in Japan!
And if you don't also know, several non-transforming Microman toys were licensed to Mego in the US and released as Micronauts! So Micronauts and Transformers were part of the same toy line in Japan years before they came to North America!
Very interesting....now do the Shogun's origin!
2:01 I love Man-Thing too! He's such an underrated character with a lot of story potential. He was featured in a good amount of issues last year and I hope that trend continues so we see more of him in the future!
Edit: Shogun Warriors came about a little less than a decade before Transformers, I believe.
Yes would love more Man-Thing!
This was a year before I got back into mainstream Comics but it's nice to hear about these issues. Also, Congratulations to you Grandpa. Must be a nice feeling.
Thanks William! And it IS a very nice feeling.
This is a really fun topic. I think I started buying comics in 1982
Another GREAT year!
Love it! Please do more segments like this. Great stuff
Thanks I plan to!
Superb top ten picks, Avengers 198 .. what a roster of talent and a fun issue. The Micronauts and Man-Thing, one of my favourite stories too. I hope Shogun Warriors gets collected, with ROM Micronauts and Godzilla, anything seems possible these days.
I'd love Shogun Warriors in a fat Gallery Edition!
Marvel Two in One is an all time underrated series!
Shogun Warriors: the original Pacific Rim!
The current Transformers series by DWJ is definitely worth checking out!! No need to know any of the other previous series.
we are overdue for a Marvel Two-In-One Omni!
First off nice music picks. Devo Clash Joan Jett 🤘
I have my copy of Micronauts #7 signed by Golden and Neal Adams. Adams helped on the cover.
I was reading more DC comics at this time. So Suoer Friends, Justice League Superman Family, World's Finest Comics, Superboy, Batman and the DC horror comics were more up my alley. But ROM #1 I still own my beat up copy from that time period. Love your picks though and some of them got into my collection a little later on.
Very cool! I was never a big DC guy. I think I let Stan Lee's propaganda in Bullpen Bulletins get to me at a very early age!
I love videos like this Larry. Comic book history through your eyes.
The rise of the comics and the talent on comics during this time was probably so cool to witness!
Thanks man! In a movie this is where I would lower my glasses and say "I've seen some SHIT". :)
Great taste in comics and music.
Thanks!
I treasured my Shogun Warrior toys. Die cast metal, baby!
Oh yeah! The little 3.5 inch tall ones? I think I had a Combatra!
Great choices…quite the nostalgia trip. Those Micronaut covers in particular echo in my memories.
Doug Moench was a big favorite of mine…his name on a book was always a very good sign.
He was quite prolific in this era !
In that X-Men comic #139, was that Doctor Octopus's tentacles that had grabbed and caught Storm ? Or were those tentacles part of the X-Men's combat room exercise equipment ? They sure as hell looked very much like Doc Ock's tentacles.
I think it was the Danger Room. Could have been programmed to mimic villains though?
Great list, Larry.
Thanks Deathtone!
Cool list! Mine would have had some Star Wars and Ghost Rider on it
YES....I loved the OG Star Wars comic and Ghost Rider from this era too!
@@LarrysLibrary Specifically from 1980 SW #35 (cover reminds me a lot of X-Men #4) and any of the Empire Strikes back issues
Loved micronaauts, an older neighbour game me the whole run. Have you read any of the 1980s DC Vigilante run?
Awesome! I don't think I have read any of Vigilante
If you enjoy mechs and kaiju, you will probably enjoy giving Ultramega by James Harren and Dave Stewart a read Larry
Thanks Elan! Sounds cool!
Great video!
Thanks William!
great list but you need some DC =)
Hah...maybe a LITTLE
