What do you think were the best black and white comics for the 80s?

None. Black and white suks. Having grown up with a lot of black and white comics, including reprints of a lot of Bronze Age Marvel stuff, I still firmly believe that a lot of material originally published in colour works much better in black and white, including pretty much anything by Gene Colan. The man was a master at using light and shadow to create atmosphere, and colour just dilutes a lot of his stuff. Tomb of Dracula being the most obvious example. |

Having recently bought a few Artist Edition original art reprint books, I completely agree. And some of the Conan B&W work, like Red Nails and the Buscema/Alcala work was superlative. |

Bear in mind that a lot of comics (several, anyway, like Zot and Ms Tree) started out in color and moved to B&W when costs started catching up.
Also, I don't think anyone's mentioned Bill Loeb's Journey yet.
