Let Us Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of the holiday, here is a list of fifty comics I am thankful for. Each item chosen for the list had to meet three criteria: 1.) It makes me happy when I think of it, 2.) I haven't discussed it previously on the blog, and 3.) No repetition of writers or artists. Some items on the list are classics, some are junk, and some are classic junk. Let's begin!
