Re-reading the above, an irony is that while I preferred DC's titles and editorial style in the period from 1980-1985, I was actually buying twice as many Marvel titles over DC titles!
I'd say my favorite DC book in that wera was the Levitz/Giffen LEGION run (LSH 285-306), and at Marvel my favorite was Stern/Romita Jr's AMAZING SPIDERMAN run (issues 224-251). Both companies were doing phenomenal work in that period (as were Epic, Pacific, Eclipse, First nd others) but I always had a special affection for DC, that defied the fact that I actually purchased more Marvel for a long time.
