Written by Creator/MarkMillar and drawn by Tommy Lee Edwards, ''1985'' is basically a love letter to the Marvel [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]], in the style of [[TheEighties 1980s]] ComingOfAge films, except replacing the aliens and supernatural monsters with... well, Marvel characters.

* TakeThat: Appears to have one towards the UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, as the only one who actively reads its preliminary works comes off as snobbish and condescending towards Toby, who favors the usual superhero tales.

* DaylightHorror: Several of the supervillains rampage in full daylight. MODOK mind-controls a ''long'' row of people to drown themselves, the Mole Man and his Moloids abduct children and their mothers from a playground, and Ultron just ambles around town blasting anyone it meets. There's also mention of Rhino and Thunderball's attacks just before the sheriff receives word of Fin Fang Foom's path of destruction.

Added DiffLines:

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The comic doesn’t skimp on highlighting the not so glowing aspects of the 1980s, especially with how those with different tastes and disorders are treated with disdain. [[spoiler:This contributes to Clyde Wyncham’s devastating outburst, after being harmed by his mother and having his comic collection taken away.]]
