		Age of Bronze dispenses with Greek gods who come down and interfere with the activities of mortals--how does this change the way the characters, who in the myths may have interacted with gods fairly regularly,
		In Age of Bronze issue #3, I attempted to address how the Trojans, at least, conceive of the world, and their view isn’t one of isolation.
		Certainly in Age of Bronze, the Achaeans and the Trojans are closely related.

		Some secondary influences on my decision to do AGE OF BRONZE were books such as THE KING MUST DIE and THE BULL FROM THE SEA by Mary Renault (her retelling of the Theseus legends), THE GOLDEN FLEECE by Robert Graves (his retelling of the Argonautic expedition), and the television adaptation of Graves's I, CLAUDIUS.
		Certainly the visual aspect of comics is useful to give students a picture of whatever subject is being studied.
		The comics story by Ed and me that you didn't mention was a one-page story printed in LOWLIFE #1 (I think) called "The Mighty Mutants of Maynardville." That was the first comic we did together and possibly the best work I did that year.

	Sequential Tart: Read This or Die - Age Of Bronze (vol IV/iss 7/July 2001)
		Age Of Bronze at least ties that comic for its use of historical research to capture the feel of an era.
		Age Of Bronze is the I, Claudius of comic books (okay, I, Claudius is a story set in the Roman era, but the feel is the same).
		Age Of Bronze is an extremely ambitious project and a wonderful artistic achievement.

		The plot of Age of Bronze, of course, existed before I began the project, so the overall story can’t be affected.

		Age of Bronze, the continuing comic book series by award-winning cartoonist Eric Shanower, presents the ancient and thrilling tradition of the world-famous War at Troy—freshly retold for the 21st century.
		The art of Age of Bronze draws upon the archaeological excavations of the places where the story took place--Mycenae, Knossos, and Pylos, among others, and especially Troy itself.
		While everything in Age of Bronze is based on existing sources, whether mythological or archaeological, it’s all subject to Shanower's interpretation.

		Silver Age" Shutt about the end of the Silver Age, the beginning and end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Modern Age.
		It was a return to the brightly-colored heroics of the Silver Age, with a lot of the realism of the new movement in comics that brought in numerous creators like Dave Cockrum, Berni Wrightson, Jim Starlin, Alan Weiss, Al Milgrom, Bob Hall, P. Craig Russell, Keith Giffen, Bob Layton, Mike Zeck and John Byrne.
		It was just such a turning point for comics that it's hard not to recognize this book as the start of the Bronze Age.

		Sometimes the comics were still in their wire wrapped bundles, sitting by the spinner rack where the delivery truck driver had left them.
		Thankfully, all of the comics from the attic were still immaculately clean since they they had been tucked away in Baggies and boxes and hadn't been sitting out in the open air.
		Meanwhile many of the pre-1977 comic books in the rest of the country are taking their chances in plastic bags, moldering away in outside storage units or being manhandled in the back issue boxes in comic store bins.

	SAVANT:: Essential
		I have an even harder time imagining making a single seven-volume coherent story out of all the various versions of the myth, creating a singular vision without using anything that doesn't have basis in an earlier story somewhere, be it Homer's Iliad or Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida.
		Age of Bronze is one of those books that really shouldn't be as rare as it is. With all the repetition the market supports now there's no reason we couldn't see a few more books based on the greater myths of human history.
		Age of Bronze should be available through finer comic stores with Diamond Code STAR13458.

		The silver age is the era of comics between the Golden Age and the Bronze age.
		Iron Age is what people call the current age, though in truth most titles these days are still as they were in the bronze age (less sillienest like Bat-Mite, but still strong moral characters).
		Yeah, some people consider the "silver age" of Marvel to bear more resemblance to the later bronze age, and DC's "silver age" to be more an extension of the golden age.

		Age of Bronze is based on events that happened a long time ago, but it's interesting how this issue in particular and the story events in general have parallels in the modern world.
		Shanower does an excellent job in this issue of showing how fractious and delicate the alliance of Achaens is, and how their first attempt at attacking Troy has damaged the loyalty of their soldiers and generals, but he also shows the effects that the war efforts have had at home.
		Age of Bronze fulfills an important role within Image comics and within the industry, showing that serious history can be told in comics form as much as it can in textbooks or classes.

		For DC, Bronze Age started with Green Lanter<>Green Arrow Hard Travelling Heroes and ended with Batman: Death in the Family(After Crisis, Millenium, and the fall of the Green Lantern Corps, which were the last holdouts of the Bronze Age.
		The start of Marvel's Bronze Age is usually attributed to Gwen Stacy going over the bridge and the end, I'm not sure.
		I first became a comics fan reading X-Men during the Byrne/Claremont era in the 80's, and my instinctive thoughts of superheroes tend to be of Marvel in the 80's -- but that's not to say that those are what I prefer overall.

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Most insane Silver and Bronze Age comics
		In the Incredibles thread I mentioned that I thought the Silver Age was home to some of the craziest, most surreal comic books ever invented.
		During the Golden Age comics were still finding their feet, and around the mid 80s they started to get "respectable" (or else be deliberately insane, which doesn't count) but I've always loved just how nutty some of these Silver Age comics could get, given a medium with almost no restrictions.
		Courtesy of "Gone and Forgotten", here's the greatest comic book cover of all time and the funniest single panel of a comic I have ever seen.

		Shanower continues to deliver a fascinating period piece about warfare during the Greek ages that still has all the pomp and circumstance of fiction, hitting a balance that all too few seem able to when mining this rich vein of story material.
		This issue in particular focuses on one of the aspects of Age of Bronze that absolutely captivates me, the way that the gods are used in these pages.
		The resulting balanced approach makes the presence of the gods in Age of Bronze seem possible without killing the realism, because it's easy to believe that these characters let themselves in for self-fulfilling prophecies when they believe they have angered or pleased the gods.
