I'd say Captain Mar-Vell was pretty much pristine for his entire life span. Way too short, but still.

John Byrne on NAMOR. No one had written him better in a series, before or since.

I'll play myself off of a technicality... I didn't specify comics. And I can NEVER imagine a better Batman than the first three or four seasons of "Batman: The Animated Series."

THE FANTASTIC FOUR 1965-1968 (the height of the Lee/Kirby/Sinnott run)

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 1966-1969 (the beginning of the Lee/Romita run - although I'm sure many would prefer the Lee/Ditko issues)

THE AVENGERS 1976-1978 (Englehart/Perez and Shooter/Perez, with some wonderful Shooter/Byrne issues thrown in)

X-MEN 1975-1981 (The Cockrum and Byrne art is consistently excellent, and the writing hadn't gotten self-indulgent at this point)

not sure if i am answering correctly but there is a stretch of The Avengers that started, for me,from #43 and went through to #97 that will forever hold a special place for me in my comic collecting life where each and every hero (and villain) was "perfectly represented" to me by Roy Thomas and John & Sal Buscema (basically, but there were many, many others).

true, that span dealt mostly with the hero and minimally with their secret identities, but i was a kid then and didn't care about secret identities at that time, i wanted action, and fun !

Paul R. - sounds as if you answered just fine to me! It's an interesting observation because the heroes might change... but the nature of the team remains the same with no big changes. I felt the same about the Legion, save that none of the Legionnaires had their own series*, while several of the Avengers did. But if you liked that run - and it was an awfully good run - then you're right.

*Well, except for the obvious two... although as I think about it, they didn't much change over that span either.
