Here’s an interesting summation of the 90s from a comics perspective.
[COMICBOOKBIN.COM:]
The 1990s was an incredible decade for comics. More people were buying and reading them than ever before and, in turn, more new publishers and new titles came into being. We had the formation of the superstar independent in Image Comics and the birth of the still unequaled VALIANT Universe, a high water mark in storytelling, as well as a host of others trying to imitate the two. Gimmick covers and variants were all the rage, but we loved them and (don’t tell Marvel) we still do. We were all going to be rich because the generic hot book of the week was going to be the next big thing. Well hindsight is 20/20 and with that in mind, let’s chart the Ten Most Important Comic Books of the 1990s. Read more. I have to admit, I was somewhat surprised at the author’s pick for Number One.
