Legion of Super-Heroes (v3) #48 was infamous for the 'high' point of modern era Bad Comic Book Science for all time, as the issue in which Mon-El carries a White Dwarf Star into Legion Headquarters.

And Green Lantern #48 was the beginning of "Emerald Twilight"

So, agreed.

Secret Origins #48 has the Ambush Bug origin, entitled "WE THOUGHT HIM UP!," which was the first new Ambush Bug story in four years at that point.

(Spirou is a belgian comic series very famous in Europe - and mostly unknown outside it.)

The 48th Spirou and Fantasio book, L'homme qui ne voulait pas mourir (The Man Who Didn't Want To Die) was the second book by the creative team of writer Jean-David Morvan and artist José-Luis Munuera. After a weak first album, they hit the stride on this one.

The books marks the first appearance of Fantasio's uncle Tanzafio, who had been thought dead on the überclassic fourth Spirou book Spirou et les héritiers (Spirou and the Heirs). In truth, he had found the Fountain of Youth and now needs to get back to it, before his old age catches up with him. But Fantasio's evil cousin Zantafio (yup, the whole family is named that way...) discovers it and starts searching for the place himself, hoping to get rich exploring it. Lots of chases (done with the always energic Munuera artwork) on this modern-style globetrotting adventure, first serialized on the Spirou magazine on 2005 and published in album form later that year.

Having said that, FF #48 STILL tops it, though. It is a real, bonafide classic!

Best,
Hunter (Pedro Bouça)

The cover-story, though only the second tale in the book, in Batman #48 was the classic 'The 1,000 Secrets of the Batcave'.

Dane Whitman took over as the Black Knight, after the death of his villainous uncle, in Avengers #48.

And on a minor note, Foggy was elected to the DA's office in Daredevil #48.

Yeah, the Morganna part is pretty weak (as far as memorable bits go) but Marshall brought a whole new dynamic to the world of Strange.

After many years of Gene Colan's beautiful, soft, surreal artwork, Marshall introduced realism and geometric design into Doc's magic, all the while maintaining (or even stepping UP) the altered landscapes and panel design for other worlds and alien dimensions.

PLUS... the issue has BROTHER VOODOO!
Now, HOW you gonna pass THAT up?

~P~
PTOR

Cerebus #48 was the fourth of the "Six Crises"... "Upstairs Downstairs" where the Hsiffies are invading, and the treasury is empty!

Y: the Last man #48 is "Gehenna" - the back story of Alter - the Israeli psycho hunting Yorick for her own reasons
