I've always been a fan of GI Joe... but only when written by Larry Hama. The other interpretations through the years are no good. As for other non-superhero stuff, I like a lot of the adventure strips from the golden age of newspaper comics.

Hello ribtin,
I would like to mention
1) from the classic era -
a) Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge... and the other Ducks created by Disney;
b) Mickey Mouse and the other mouse-, cat- or dog-styled figures with which he's often combined.
Favourite artists, as to
1. a) Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Flemming Andersen; Giorgio Cavazzano and a host of others from Italy and Southern America
1. b) Floyd Gottfredson and many others
I'm not much interested in both figure's old animated movies -though these are classics, of course- but I prefer the comic books / magazines from the 1950s to 1970s; as to Donald Duck, I was glad when in a German comic magazine they reprinted lots of his old newspaper short strips from the 1930/1940s, some years ago :-)
2) My favourites among the "heroes" of newspaper strips - in alphabetical order, as I have no preference within the list:
Calvin & Hobbes
Garfield
Peanuts
Clever & Smart
(and I'm sure there are others I just don't remember, at the moment...)
What amazes me is the fact that -unless I overlooked something- not a single of these comic "families" or figures are mentioned in any posting here. Very strange... It seems the classic Duck and Mickey Mouse "heroes" are nowadays more popular here in Germany than in the country where they once were "born". Isn't that strange? ;-)
Kind regards

Nice. I love horror comics. The 70s stuff was so atmospheric. Great art.

I do not know if "The Phantom " is a superhero or not.
