IMO, the best era of Marvel comic collecting. The prices were great & you had some of the best Writers/artists in history doing these titles, which back then, numbered in the low 40s if that, unlike today, where there is an oversaturation of titles & the vast majority suck. With $10, you came home with a stack of comics to read, now you may get 2 comics for that price. That's why my preferred era of ML figs tend to be 70s-80s costumes/looks.
