What's your favourite comic?

Short blog post today. Do you have an all-time favourite comic? For me, it's a tie between Smash! when it was published by Odhams (1966 to '69) and TV Century 21 (1965 to 1969). I enjoyed many other comics too of course, with The Dandy from 1964 being a close favourite, along with Countdown (1971), Action (1976), Pow! (1967/68), the early issues of 2000AD and more. 

Our tastes are often fuelled by nostalgia so my preferences are mainly comics of the 1960s to mid-1970s. Warlord was never a favourite though because I didn't like war comics, but it was an important influence on comics such as Action, Battle, and 2000AD so it has my respect for that. 

Look-In was a comic I liked... for the first couple of years anyway (1971/72) but it was never a huge favourite. I preferred its rival Countdown/TV Action. 

I was born too late to appreciate the original Eagle... and was too old to appreciate the revived Eagle in 1982, but I know many people did enjoy it. Which title did you enjoy the most, and for what period of its run? Let me know by posting a comment below...
