Comics in Prison 5

Damn that Seth! I would have picked Amazing Spider-Man for my stay in prison. Barring that, I might ask for Fantastic Four, but only the Lee/Kirby run and the John Byrne run. The Lee/Kirby run kick started comics in the '60's and introduced so many characters and concepts, you can't help but be impressed. And then, of course, there's Jack.

The Byrne run, while it can't hold a candle to the earlier Lee/Kirby issues, is just plain fun. The run is long enough to develop the story and Byrne's art was at the top of it's game. If anything, the Byrne issues are a nice homage to those earlier FF comics.
