Had to mention it because it made a big impact on me as kid. Fair enough about Iron Mans “Demon in a Bottle” Marvel DID stretch that out a lot.

When you said Wolverine 1-4, i thought you meant the original series, not the original mini-series. Oops. i read that too quickly.

It was close between that and Superman's entry, but I thought Supes needed at least a mention. The other X-Men stories mentioned are all good. As for Demon in a Bottle, I did really like that story arc, but I actually thought they did the alcoholism thing even better later, when Rhodey took over because Stark was so drunk. But those stories unfolded over a long period, and I couldn't really call them a self-contained tale. Well, Wolverine 1-4 made my honorable mentions.

For me that was the first time, I saw a SERIOUS issue being addressed (and actually put off Iron Man for a while). What about Iron Man: Demon in a Bottle 120-128?

A few that must bear mention: --The X-Men/New Mutants in Asgard (which i suppose includes the X-Men/Alpha Flight w/ Loki issue, if you want the entire story arc) --Original Wolverine mini-series, wherein we learn that not only is Wolvie a bad ass, he's a freaking NINJA SAMURAI badass! --Wolverine/Kitty Pryde mini-series--The ninja ass kickery gets passed down to Kitty AND she comes up w/ the Shadow Cat name. --New Mutants Warlock/Magnus arc, specifically when Magick teleported the team into two alternate futures (one where mutants ruled, one where they didn't) i fell out of the habit for over a decade, but have found myself sucked back in the past two or three years. If you haven't already, you must check out Garth Ennis' run on Preacher, Punisher and Wormwood. Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan is always a winner, too, and i've got a soft spot for anything Neil Gaiman does, too. i respect your Miller infatuation, so you’ll have to forgive me mine for the X-Men.
