	Spartanburg SC \| GoUpstate.com \| Spartanburg Herald-Journal
		The Silver Age of Comic Books was a period of artistic advancement and commercial success in mainstream American comic books, predominantly in the superhero genre, that lasted roughly from the late 1950s/early 1960s 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.
		The state of the comic book industry as of September 2007, especially that of DC Comics, has been labeled by fans as a second silver age, or Neo Silver Age, due to the return of several of the concepts prevalent in the first silver age.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Gil Kane
		In the late 1950s, Kane, freelancing for DC Comics, helped to usher in the Silver Age of comic books when he became the chief artist for a series of new superhero titles loosely based on 1940s characters, notably Green Lantern and the Atom.
		His depiction of her death scene remains controversial as the direct cause of her demise is ambigously depicted [2].
		Kane's work on the covers of the "western" comics of the Marvel line, during this period, was particularly fine and evocative stuff; full of "worm's-eye" POVs and tilted, slightly askew backgrounds.

	Metropolis (comics) - Definition, explanation
		Metropolis is a fictional city that appears in comic book published by DC Comics, and is the home of the superhero Superman.

	British Comics Collection: The British Library Newspaper Library
		Comics which were designed primarily for children were not published until the early years of the twentieth century, the first being the Rainbow (1914-1956), although Puck (1904-1940), which began as an adult comic, gradually came to be aimed at a much younger readership.
		The 1930s were undoubtedly the golden age of the comic, with a large number of titles in publication ranging from Tiny Tots (1927-1959), aimed at the 'nursery market', to Crackers (1929-1941) for older children.
		The silver age of the comic was the 1950s, epitomised by the Eagle (1950-1969), with its good-quality paper, full colour photogravure, excellent artwork and front-page hero, Dan Dare, by Frank Hampson, doing battle against the Mekon.

	Silver Bullet Comics Forum - Collect Or Read
		As far a collecting, I keep my comics in good condition, not for re-sale but more for the happiness that it gives me. Handling comics give me a sensory joy, a Proustian rush (although not limited to the sense of smell).
		Bagging and boarding my comics takes me back to a time when I was 12 years old and just learning that comics meant more to me than just the thrill of an adventure story.
		Comics are a great hobby that fulfills all a sorts of nerdy-needs that I have.

	Reviews of 'The Greatest 1950s Stories Ever Told'
		The ageing of their former audience, the shifting of entertainment to television, and political and moral pressures forced the majority of the costumed heroes out of the spotlight, to be replaced by a crazy mix of adventure, comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, war, and romance comics.
		The intro is very informative as to the creators involved with these comics, as well as the various pressures put upon the comic medium at the time.
		This volume also includes the Silver Age Flash and Green Lantern, the Challengers of the Unknown, and Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane at the height of their books' popularity.

		He said that he remembers the "musty, moldy" smell of old comics from a refrigerator box of comics he inherited when he was a child.

	World Famous Comics >> Tony's Online Tips - Tony Isabella
		That this humble comic magazine inspired the musical career of George Michael is probably not true, but, if we keep repeating it, we can probably make a lot of people believe it.
		In its early issues the comic presented both clear imitations of Beano strips, such as a clone of the Bash Street Kids, and other strips such as Eagle Eye, Junior Spy and Georgie's Germs, which attempted to break the mould of older strips with bizarre humour, outrageous puns, and surreal plots.
		I was tempted to vote for that goofy version of Captain Marvel that could split off his body parts and I think the various Marvel Comics version would give the others a good fight, but, I had to go with the majority and vote for the original Captain.

		Through connections in the comics field i met Dean Mullaney and we were attracted to one another becuase of our mutual interest in comic books.
		The comic book company grew steadily, but in 1986 our house (and the entire town of Guerneville) was flooded and we lost almost everything we owned.
		In fact, except that i have aged physically, memorized a very great deal of trivial information, found steady employment, picked up a bit of self-confidence, and bought a house, you will see in me the very same person i was at 17, when i first left home.
