Why were the 1980’s a golden age for team books? Think of how many of the greatest team book runs were written then: Alpha Flight, Batman and the Outsiders, Camelot 3000, Fantastic Four, Green Lantern Corps, Justice League International, Legion of Super Heroes, Micronauts, The New Mutants, The New Teen Titans, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the X-Men, Watchmen. And don’t forget the Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters! For the kids, there was Power Pack. Roy Thomas wrote 3 great teams on Earth-2, the All-Star Squadron, the Young All-Stars, and Infinity, Inc.
What was it about those times?
