	Golden Age of Comic Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Golden Age of Comic Books was a period in the history of American comic books, generally thought as lasting from 1938 until the late 1940s or early 1950s, during which comic books enjoyed a surge of popularity, the archetype of the superhero was created and defined, and many of the most famous superheroes debuted.
		Comic book companies showcased their heroes battling the Axis Powers; covers featuring a superhero punching Adolf Hitler or fighting buck-toothed Japanese soldiers have become icons of the age.
		This book argued that superhero, crime, and horror comic books were a factor in corrupting young people and a cause of juvenile delinquency.

	Silver Age of Comic Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Silver Age of Comic Books is an informal name for the period of artistic advancement and commercial success in mainstream American comic books, predominantly in the superhero genre, that lasted roughly from the mid 1950s to the early 1970s.
		Their development was complicated by the rise of gritty horror and crime comic books, as well as by national parental concerns ignited by Dr. Fredric Wertham's influential book Seduction of the Innocent, and fanned by U.S. Senate hearings on juvenile delinquency.
		The beginning (as well as the end) of the Silver Age is cause for debate, but it is generally agreed that the period began with DC Comics’ Showcase #4 in 1956, which introduced the modern version of the Flash.

		Citizen V and his Battalion only appeared twice in the Golden Age, but obviously that was enough to stick in some peoples’ minds.
		This is one of the more painful of the Golden Age strips to read, because the Angel’s stories are uniformly simple-minded but lack the charm and sincerity of strips like the Whizzer and Citizen V. Issue after issue, the Angel would fight sinister Nazi plots against the United States.

	UAHC - Reform Judaism Magazine
		Anticipating that the novelty, and thus the appeal, of recycled newspaper comics would be short-lived, Gaines was ever on the lookout for something new, and he wasn't alone.
		The period roughly from 1933 to 1955 is regarded by comics historians as the "Golden Age" because it was the "first wave" of new talent, an era when classic comic-book characters such as Superman, Batman, and Captain America were created, as was the graphic language of contemporary comics.
		After having served as midwife to the first comic book, the first superhero, the first superhero group, and the first major female crime-fighter, Gaines decided it was time to move the genre in a new direction--ethical education.

	TwoMorrows Publishing - Alter Ego #3 - The Real Captain Marvel by C. C. Beck
		PART I. Many books and articles about the Golden Age of Comic Books have been published in recent years, written by people who were children in the 1930s and '40s or who were born after the Golden Age had ended.
		The super-heroes of the Golden Age had evolved from stories of the Old West, from the great detective stories of the past, and from science-fiction stories dating back to the nineteenth century and earlier.
		When publishers saw that collections of newspaper comic strips bound together and published as "comics" and "funnies" were sell-outs, they set their hack writers and artists to work producing imitation comic strips featuring their same old wornout heroes under new, flashy names.
