I'm torn between FF #200 and JLA #200!

So is that a vote for "Other", kirby101?

When I think about it, my favorite was Thor #200. Great John Buscema art, inked by Verpoorten. YES!!! Still my favourite Thor story, and among my favourite single issues of any title! Ragnarok never looked so good. Plus, what a way to celebrate a landmark issue: showing how the hero will die, for real*, and how the world will end! (*insofar as there's any "for real" in comic-book continuity, that is).

Deserves more praise, or deserved a better comic?

The Amazing Spider-Man #200 was a perfect bookend to how it all started, and with kind of personal stories the series crafted better than any other Marvel title. That, and of course, the cover by the greatest of all Spider-Man artists was as perfectly dramatic as always.

Great choices. I picked the FF 200 because it finally reunited the team, Reed had his powers back, and a classic throwdown with Doom. I really liked the Pollard/Sinnott interior art team as well along with the snazzy Kirby/Sinnott cover.

JLA #200, hands down (though I really, really like B&B #200 too).
Cei-U! I cast my ballot!

I dunno. If a #200 issue doesn't wrap up a much-anticipated storyline by gaslighting a protagonist and then swooping her off of the title for no good reason, I'm not really sure it's lived up to its potential.

Brave and the Bold #200.
A Batman team-up bridging the year the first issue was released with its last. And it's a great story too - a "new" Batman story from 1955 alongside a sequel its lead doesn't know is a sequel but we the reader does. As a bonus, the debut of The Outsiders meaning that even as this comic is neatly wrapping up its 27 year run, its also setting up its successor (though to be honest, I'm not that much of a fan of the title). And as a nice little touch - Barr came up with a team-up that neither participant actually realizes is a team-up (kind of tricky when one of the guys has been dead for years). It really embraces the rules of the title while subverting them; pays homage to the past being celebrated; and would have been a memorable, classic comic no matter what the issue number.

I've never read any of those. I like Avengers #200. There, I said it.

I voted Amazing Spider-Man #200 because it nicely bookended the run up to that point by featuring the return of the Burglar who murdered Uncle Ben from Amazing Fantasy #15, and it also marked the moment when Aunt May finally overcame her fear of Spider-Man. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the adventures of Spider-Man could've finished with ASM #200 and it would've left us with one of the greatest coming of age stories in 20th century literature. It's just a great comic.
