I still love this final panel from the much-missed Carlos Pacheco! The dialogue still gives me goosebumps, when Reed says "In the words of my dearest friend, it's Clobberin time" topped off with the perfect response by the Thing "Nuff Said" which of course has a double meaning (Marvel history-wise)  And of course, perhaps my all time favorite, with the amazingly well written buildup to this, with the occasional "where is Thor" "We need Thor" and then when all hope is lost..... THIS is the Thor I want to see in live action!

Like this one from Jack Cole.  You could do a whole thread on Will Eisner.

The first one that popped in my mind was a page from an early issue of Heavy Metal Magazine. Here's the few panels preceding it for context, with the actual page in spoilers:

Ya can't have a thread like this without Will Eisner. This is as brilliant a comic page as I've ever seen:

I've read in a few places that the last pages of Bernard Krigstein's 1955 Master Race story for EC Comics is one of the most important and influential pages in American comics.

I was a huge fan of the Johns and Van Sciver series Green Lantern Rebirth, and bringing Hal Jordan back in that manner is one of the main things that got me back into reading comics in my 30's. I absolutely loved the dramatic moment when Hal's reanimation was complete and the build up to it did not disappoint. Sinestro is telling them to beg for their lives, etc. From Rebirth #4

I read Alex Toth's Fox backups as a 13 year old when they were first published in Archie's The Black Hood back in 1983. At the time, I thought these were the two most perfect art jobs I'd ever seen in my life. I kinda still think that way, especially about these two pages in particular. They are just... well, perfect. I wish there were more. These are definately formative in what I consider great comics art.

The Spirit Archives are fine, but the Plastic Man Archives are badly from that era of really poorly produced DC archives, where the art looks nothing like Cole. They look like bleached pages that were retraced by someone in production. They should just do a collection that is photographed from the original published comics. (Unless they have the original art! Highly unlikely!!!)

Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson were a good team,even if they didn't think so.

I think we got something pretty close to that in Infinity War and also in Ragnarok. I don't know why they went the direction they did with Thor after that, but in those two films he was a powerhouse.

That book and Marvel's Godzilla were my favorite comics. Little boys like dinosaurs, I guess. At least this one did.  They even fought/teamed-up in a wo issue story, complete with a tribute double-page splash. The premise was that the Marvel heroes used Pym particles to shrink him, then Reed Richards used Dr. Doom's time machine to send him back to the prehistoric era where Godzilla could better thrive.

Love and Thunder was the first MCU film I couldn't get through. There were a few other Marvel flics that I abandoned part way, but never an MCU one. I think, like with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, the franchise may have jumped the shark for me.

From Supernatural Thrillers #3 - Gil Kane pencils, Ernie Chua inks, written by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway.    This is one of my all-time favourite pages from a comic...and one of my all-time favourite comics. I have a copy, sealed in a plastic baggie, in near-prefect condition. It's one of my prized possessions.
