This being the end of the year, I expect that we will be seeing quite a few
lists (ex. "best comics of 1985", "worst comics of 1985", etc.).  Well,
those are nice, but what I like to discuss even more is the question:
"What were the most important events in comics in 1985?"  I suspect that
this kind of a list would be much more contriversal(sp.?) and thus one heck
of a lot more fun than any other list I could think of.

Anyway here`s my list (as of Nov.26,1985):

(in no particular order)
01.  _CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS_
02.  debut of _MIRACLEMAN_
03.  debut of _`MAZING MAN_
04.  debut of _MR. MONSTER_
05.  debut of Art Adams(_LONGSHOT_, _NEW MUTANTS SPECIAL_)
06.  return of Frank Miller to _DAREDEVIL_
07.  Steve Bissette and John Tolben leaving _SWAMP THING_
08.  cancelation of ZOT!
09.  cancelation of _AZTEC ACE_
10.  _AMBUSH BUG_`s success

Note:  This is NOT a poll!  However, I would be glad to here from anybody
who wishes to agree or disagree with me either through net.comics or mail.
I just refuse to be responsible for gathering everybody else`s list, since
finals are coming up.
