I agree with you FULLY -- DG 1980's basically suck (there are a few exceptions). I think they utilized the entire decade as a testing ground in preparation for their "DG Originals" campaign, which basically started the "remaster" craze. Unfortunately, most of these remasters ARE substantially better than the first issues, so I scoop 'em up. There's a fine line between an overt conspiracy, a calculated mis-step and an outright improvement (however unpleasant the result, such as the need to repurchase).
