		In the 60's, known as the Silver Age, DC and Marvel turned to the superhero genre which became the staple of the comic book industry.

		The Golden Age of comics is a term coined by collectors to denote the period from 1938 until 1956.
		This new concept in comics, of a person who led what outwardly appeared an ordinary life but who possessed extraordinary powers to do things that the rest of us could not do, and which were used to fight crime and evil, proved to be an enormous success.
		DC Comics themselves produced a number of very successful super-hero characters during the Golden Age of comics including Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, the Spectre, the Atom, Sandman, Hourman and Dr. Fate, with the Justice Society of America featuring a team-up of DCвЂ™s best heroes.

		The Golden Age of comics is considered by most to be the greatest era of comic books ever.

		The Golden Age of Marvel Comics volume 2, released in 1999, is a collection of various stories from Marvel Comics' Golden Age era (the first volume of The Golden Age of Marvel Comics was released in 1997).
		Back then, Marvel Comics was known as Timely Comics, and would later go on to become one of the most successful comic book publishers (alongside longtime competitor, DC Comics).

	World Famous Comics >> After the Golden Age - Alvin Schwartz, Nov 08, 1999
		Bill understood that he was not writing stories of literary sensitivity although, as I shall explain, he set the groundwork for them (comics was not to see such stories until Alan Moore showed up years later) so he turned to a technique that one outstanding American short story writer pioneered.
		From O Henry, the master of the gimmick ending, Bill raised the gimmick to a new art, especially suited to comics and to the synthetic psychoses of his villains.
		How often back in the Golden Age did I see other writers and even artists (since many of the gimmicks were pictorial) approaching Bill and asking to search through his gimmick books for an idea.

	They Came From Earth-K: My Golden Age of Comics
		So, for me, the Golden Age of comics is around 3.
		I was introduced to the world of comics by my uncle who was only ten years older and thus in his early teens (prime comic buying time in a young boy's life) during my formative years.
		I've written before about my first year of buying comics (and will probably post that here sometime next week), but it was my uncle's collection that started it all off, and impacted the way I'll think about comics forever.

		My collections have come and gone over the years, covering pretty much the entire gamut of genres and titles, but my current obsession is limited to titles from the so-called "Golden Age" of comics.
