Great Years in Comics
Just like they say with fine wines - that was a very good year.
What do other people think were great single years in comics history? For what was released that year, certain events, etc?
I have a first pick, but I want to hear what others say first as their choices.

I like all the years. 80's Secret Wars was a hit. Gaiman is back. Of course, Kirby and Lee

For me, the great year was 1986.
DC was beginning it's post-Crisis reboot of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, as the new DC Universe was coming into being.
Frank Miller was THE dominant creative force that year, getting headlines with The Dark Knight Returns & Batman: Year One.
Alan Moore - the era's favourite writer - his legend was growing with the release of Watchmen. No more words to add to that.
For Marvel, they were celebrating their 25th anniversary. And Miller had major works over there too, concluding the Daredevil: Born Again storyline; plus, the painted graphic novel Daredevil: Love & War & the Elektra: Assassin miniseries - both done with Bill Sienkiewicz, the wildest illustrator of that period.
And things were getting really bad with the X-Men, with the Mutant Massacre and the start (on the comics page) of Wolverine's hate-feud with Sabretooth.

...Oh, also in 1986 we had the last major work by Jack Kirby - THE HUNGER DOGS, about Darkseid and the end of the New Gods.
