	Comic Book Journal
		I think the death of war comics in modern comics is merely an indication that society is tired of the battlefront and (I’ll dare say it) flag-waving in general.
		Comic books and cereal companies have had a terrific partnership over the years, yet it seems to me that this relationship is waning.
		Comic books would still be held as popular family entertainment, and there would be far less jokes cracked at the speculation of Batman and Robin’s sexual preferences.

	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.
		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.
		DC covers of the Silver Age are notable for the abundance of speech balloons.

	Hawkman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		There are at least two versions, one from the Golden Age of Comic Books and other from the Silver Age of Comic Books.
		Hawkman has one of the most convoluted continuities of any comic book character, with a variety of new incarnations and rewriting of history to reassign the exploits of one Hawkman to another.
		What follows is a simplified accounting of the currently accepted Hawkman chronology (like most comic book characters, his history, powers and even personality can vary immensely in different editorial eras).

	Comic Book Collecting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		From the 1850's to present times Comic Books have been manufactured for an entertaining reading medium and have been and still are highly specialized in many ways.
		This is significant for those collectors of Comic Books that seek high grade comics from the era of the 1960's, referred to as the "Silver Age" of Comic Books.
		It is generally accepted that the Silver Age began in 1956 with SHOWCASE # 4 w/ FLASH and lasted to the end of 1970.

		DC Comics is one of the largest American companies in comic book and related media publishing.
		The comics industry experienced a brief boom in the early 1990s, thanks to a combination of speculative purchasing of the books as collectibles and several storylines which gained attention from the mainstream media.
		For books that did not have a single star, such as House of Mystery or Justice League of America, the title and "DC" appeared in a stylized logo, such as a bat for House of Mystery.

	Sequential Tart - A Comics Industry Web Zine (Volume II, Issue 5, May 1999)
		The first time that I heard about comic books or even knew of their existence, that is that they were actually published and there was a place where this was being done, was as a result of a friend of mine in junior high school.
		The comic book business is one that has a nucleus, I feel, a nucleus of an audience that doesn’t get larger and larger, but it grows to a certain point where people who are reading comic books will then leave comic book reading for something else.
		Until just recently, comic books had taken on a look of such intricacy that if you show it to an average eight or nine or ten year old who has perhaps not seen a comic book or is not into it, they’ll look at it and can’t make heads or tails of it.

		The comics industry went into a tailspin in the '80s when it was overrun by immature artists who tried to confuse the viewer by losing the center of interest and get by on pyrotechnics.
		I think The Silver Age Of Comic Book Art is a masterpiece and the definitive investigation of the art of the important period that it covers.
		No, this isn't a book about comics, nor is it a history of the Silver Age of comics, this is an excellent coffee table book that showcases the very best artwork from that era, and combines it with thoughtful and insightful commentary.

		On most Modern Age Comic Books, there will be eight pages to the staple from the front and the back cover to the staple.
		Then there are comics that count 12-pages one way, and 16-pages the other — closer investigation reveals what appears to be sliced-out pages in the “short” side of the book, but page-numbers and story-lines confirm that the book is complete.
		I’ve seen dealers put high grades on books that were obviously water-stained or that had tanned or browned front and back cover edges that only became apparent when the book was removed from its bag and opened for inspection.

		So, I decided to give a podcast called The Golden Age of Comic Books a try as I’ve been into Golden Age (1938-1958) and Silver Age (1959-1969) comic books lately.
		For example, in one of the podcasts I listened to today, he talked about the origin of Golden Age Wonder Woman which, on some levels is similar to the one written in 1987 by Greg Potter and George Perez, but is also vastly different.
		Again, the name of the podcast is The Golden Age of Comic Books.

		There has never been a coffeetable book celebrating their [the silver age artists'] work, showing the actual printed comic book art--with Ben-day dots on cheap newsprint--as it was transmitted to and perceived by the readership.
		Other books have been illustrated with the fl and white original art, and as beautiful as that is, that's production art, as far as I'm concerned.
		Implicit in the structure of his book is an argument in favour of a qualitative progression (or, at least, a progression towards "seriousness") from Infantino to Adams...
