What are the Top 15 most impactful comic books in the hobby? Overstreet Advisors -- Ben Labonog and Greg Holland -- and I combined our picks, and these 15 comics emerged. Big shout out to Stephen Fishler from ComicConnect who has recently introduced the Comic Book Impact (CBI) index. Our picks do not completely agree with his picks; they represent the combined opinions of Ben, Greg, and Keston.
*Famous Funnies 1 Series 1 was the first newsstand comic, and it cost 10cents. It was a once shot. The Famous Funnies 1 that appears in this video was the first ongoing newsstand title. Confusing because of the similarity of names.

Great video and lots of solid choices. You know us Keston..we have to put Pep Comics 22 in there. 1st appearance of Archie. It was totally snubbed, lol. Talk about impact! Archie and the gang are such an important part of Americana and pop culture. From radio shows, cartoons and even modern-day takes like Riverdale Archie stands the test of time. The newest addition of The Archies in Hindi also demonstrates the international influence Archie has had. MLJ was the first to have a national superhero with the Shield in Pep Comics#1 predating Captian America by over a year. MLJ Magazine/Archie Publications is also perhaps the longest enduring company outside of the Big 2 (Marvel and DC). While we cannot argue the importance of Spawn#1, the importance and longevity of Archie comics should also not be overlooked.

Nice video, I love how you put some platinum books on the list, these don't get a lot of love. My personal snub here (even though I don't own the book) would be Crime Suspenstories 22, just because it was poster book for the implementing the comic code

Women in comic books are a huge part of the hobby and Industry. All Star 8 should be on the list for sure.

No All Star Comics 8? The most famous female superhero? She was one of three pillars that literally kept the industry alive after everybody else got canceled.

I think a strong case could be made for Crime Does Not Pay issue 1 from 1942.

So happy to see Showcase 4 so high on the list! But really I think this was an excellent 15. I was surprised to not see Eerie 1 on the list. Thanks for making great content 💥

Fun upload. I guess the original Captain Marvel Whiz Comics #1(2) does not make the cut. 😢

I've always felt All Star Comics 3 was undervalued. However, I have never considered DC 38 a "team-up". Which, I think it is. Keston, this may be the first time I've disagreed with you on comics! Lol, Great video as always!

Bonus question, what made you choose Famous Funnies #1 over Famous Funnies: Series 1 #1? Both came out in 1934. Both considered the first newsstand comic book. The one you choose has a better cover and was the first ongoing monthly title but I believe the other one came out first. Tough call on which one is more relevant.

Bob Kane conceived Batman to capitalize on the popularity of Superman so without Superman and Action #1 there would be no Batman. I would add X-Men #94 because without the X-Men series Wolverine wouldn't be as popular today. Hulk 181 and GSX-1 alone wouldn't have had the same impact on his popularity without the X-Men series.

As far as making an impact on the hobby, you cant get any bigger of an impact than those gruesome pch covers which caused the comic code authority to come about. You guys better go back to the drawing board. 😅
