Bryan Munn

Fantastic Four #200 --After The Beagle boys and Micronauts, FF was the first series I collected. I asked a friend to get this for me at the comic shop across town in Thunder Bay since I missed it at my local corner store.
*
Justice League #200 --I stole this from a Catholic boy in Cambridge, Ontario. My siblings and I were staying with his family while my parents were at a "Marriage Retreat."
* Superman's 50th Anniversary -- I read
Amazing Heroes regularly and they devoted a whole issue to Superman tributes in 1988. Most memorable contribution? Gary Groth: "My only interest in Superman, marginal at that, stems from his continuing presence as a symbol of banality and infantilism in the history of the American comic book."
*
Palookaville #1 10th Anniversary Edition -- Was this the first of these "alt comics milestone" books? Memorable because it celebrates the against-all-odds endurance of underground Canadian art.
*
Drawn and Quarterly 20th Anniversary -- When Adrian Tomine and Stan Bevington saluted Chris Oliveros at the 2009 Wright Awards in Toronto, I remember thinking, "Why aren't there more great graphic novels published in Canada following D+Q's example?"

Michael Grabowski
1.
Omega the Unknown #10 (1977): I was blown away at the 7-Eleven by seeing the lead character shot dead. I couldn't bring myself to buy it, but I couldn't bring myself to put it down and buy something else.
2.
Tomb Of Dracula #70: 1st time reading a comics series end with a real ending.
3.
Cerebus #200: Typically abnormal ending to a typically long Cerebus story line with a meta-ending that barely hints at the craziness to come.
4.
Amazing Spider-Man #200: First double-sized anniversary issue of a series I bought of a series I regularly read. Return of the burglar!
5.
Action Comics #500: I was just plain awed by a comic series lasting 500 issues. The text piece on the series' history was actually more fun to read than the clip show reverie and Luthor's insta-clone plot that made up the thick comic.

thanks to all that participated on this 5FFs and on all previous 5FFs. I have enough already posted to get to February 2011, so it's safe to say this feature will be around for a while.
