Quote:Originally Posted by QuaBrot Thanks, QB! Uslan is a historical guy, for sure. If I recall correctly, he's the one who debunked the whole "Goodman and Liebowitz were playing golf" legend about FF #1. I'm not completely convinced that the term "Silver Age" was in use in the 60's, but "Golden Age" had its origins there:  Marvel certainly called it "The Marvel Age" (seen here), but I haven't seen anything in print earlier than the 70's that calls it explicitly the "Silver Age" (though there are certainly suggestions, as in the letter above.) No doubt, it was used verbally before, probably long before, it was used in print, but unless it was recorded, print is all we have to rely on. |

| So let's see if we CBCS Forum patrons can make an executive decision on the next "age".....maybe....just maybe it will stick! So in the past we have had the following: Prototype comics = pre-1938 - I'm not sure there is a name for this age. https://silveragecomics.omeka.net/timeline Golden Age - 1938-1950 Silver Age - 1956-1970 Bronze Age - 1970-1985 Copper Age - not listed as a "true" age Modern Age - 1985-Present ????? Age Now if we are to go by the "15 years" that each age seems to be associated to....the Modern Age would have ended in the year 2000.....but it didn't. Did someone get tired of having to name this "new" time period. Let's do it for them!! :o) Suggested names: Variant Age Variant-Media Age Atom Age II (*smiles*) Millennial Age Diamond Age Chrome Age The Tin Age ****************** WOW!! Lots of different ideas people have. Anyone else? Anyone have a favorite? Should we create a poll? Cheers! |

| ooh ooh how about the "Cinema Age" I mean it is a golden age of superhero cinema and all the spec and market fluctuation in recent memory is largely based upon TV/Movie news Plus, it sounds sort of like Cinnamon and I'm having a craving for Cinnabon right now. |

| Again, the Atom age is being over looked. It was from 1946cto 1956 according to Overstreet Guide. I still like Modern age for the current stuff. Keeps it simple. | ||

| I do not feel that there has been anything significant from the end of the copper age up to now. I think another 10 years should pass and then we may be ready. | ||

| I'm thinking this is pretty fitting.... Golden Age - 1938-1950 Silver Age - 1956-1970 Bronze Age - 1970-1985 Copper Age - 1985-1995 Chromium Age/Modern - 1995-2010 Modern/Variant Age - 2010-??? (2025?....I hope not) Modern pretty much moves along and always has to be the last 10 years or so in order for the descriptor to fit |

Quote:Originally Posted by I_AM_IRON_MAN Considering you could probably apply the term drek to 90% or more of what comes out every decade that name would not work. When I started collecting most of the 70's books and almost all of the 80's and 90's was considered drek and not worth the paper they were printed on. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Since pennies went from silver to copper to zinc (seemed to skip bronze) I think they could just call 1994-20?? the zinc age. Possible cut off years: 2003 Walking Dead 1 2011 New 52 2012 Banner year for Image Comics |

Quote:Originally Posted by Themaxx35 I don't really believe the '90s to be as horrible as people seem to think. There were some good books in that era, but most came from everyone EXCEPT Marvel. DC had Batman Year One, Dark Knight Returns and handful of other books. Most good stories came from independent companies, or DCs Helix and Vertigo lines. I do give DC this much credit, they let people like Frank Miller play around with one of their biggest icons, and it paid dividends for them. |

Quote:Originally Posted by OrbitCityComics I started collecting comic books in 1967 and quite in 1982. I quite because the art work was going down hill and since then I haven't seen any improvement. Now, I only collect and replace MARVELS's from 1982 on back. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Rafel This is an aspect of the hobby that fascinates me: the individual perspective on everything. For me, I quit in the early 90s and came back about a year ago. I think the quality of the art is vastly improved and the styles are much more varied. For me comics from the 60s and 70s had great covers (Adams and Swan for example), but I can't say that I loved the interior pages. To each their own. The hobby and its history has something for everyone. |
