Just to name a few.


100% brother!

Oh yes...lots of different ways to categorize the different ages. I know my pricing post above is not how it's done.

Its hard to identify a common event that should trigger an age/era transition.

edit: I get Showcase 4...that was the birth of DC's old/new character designs (more or less I believe)....or FF1 the birth of the Marvel age.

Bronze age and copper age...not sure what events triggered those transitions.

A lot of the age changes are series dependent. Not every series flips at the same month or even year.

@ShallaBal Most Excellent...
Murphy Anderson is one of my silver age favs.
The books he & Carmine Infantino worked on together were awesome.
