RSS Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 The Silver Age itself was a wild time. Most will say that the introduction of Barry Allen as the Flash in 1956 is the demarcation, as it was the first time a Golden Age character had been reimagined in the DC Universe. But it is the beginning of the Bronze Age that is the real subject of debate. With the resurgence of horror books, the creation of more violent characters and stories of drugs and death in superhero comics, there are many pivotal moments that can be pointed to as the genesis of the Bronze Age. But for me, there is only one answer: Jack Kirby's return to DC Comics.

Missy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Another great read, Des. This one really made me want to buy those Fourth World books! Awesome title, too! I still feel "Moo Do You Trust?" is the best yet, but "Jimmy Olsen Must Tie-Dye!" is right behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
