  Modern Age of Comic Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Modern Age of Comic Books is an informal name for the period of American comic books generally considered to last from the mid-1980s until present day.
While comics had been adapted as films since the serials of the 1940s, these films had low budgets and were generally aimed at children, and were never meant to be taken seriously.
Although sales of comic books dropped in the late 1990s and the early 2000s, sales rose for trade paperbacks, collected editions in which several issues are bound together with a spine and often sold in bookstores as well as comic shops.

 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.

 Timely Comics When Marvel was Golden
They were called Timely Comics, and by and large, their line was very forgettable.
Sure the comic has a goofy premise – a plane crashes into a mysterious city in the clouds, inhabited by a race of humans evolved from birds.
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.
