History of The Silver Age of Comics

I would say Captain America survived the golden age too

"Variant Nation"

There's got to be a better way to say that

Rember Mr Swarts helped.with the 1964 Comicon that United Fandom.

I stopped at 11: 16 into this video. I couldn't take the BS.. The comentator did not address the opposing claims from Ditko and Kirby. The statement that these adventures occur in real cities proved how unprepared these guys are for telling the story. Ever heard of the CENTRAL CITY-based Fantastic Four? Did these guys mention the ambiguous setting of the Hulk adventures? Only later did the New York and New Mexico reference pop up. Even though you only get bits and pieces from former book store owner Nerdrotic (he is more politcal centered), he is far more reliable.

Very cool to see Marvel and DC spotlighted. I do think the choice of Tony stark, as an arms dealer, was not intended to play off the anti-war movement. Not at his origin.
Stan was very staunchly pro USA.
You can see that in Tales of Suspense stories of the era. Communists are the villains of many Silver Age Marvels.

Aside from protests at Berkeley, while it's before our time, I think the introduction of combat troops in 1965.
Tony is a hero for being an arms producer. Only 1970s writers deal with Stark being out-of-step.

Good narrative flow though.
Stan Lee perpetuated the recon of his Iron Man motives, so it's understandable.

These guys are too nerdy and too fanny too fanboy to be effective presenters.
I already knew all this history; I learned nothing new here

Correction: Hal Jordan WAS NOT a military pilot. He was a civilian test pilot for a company named Ferris Aircraft.

Guys, PLEASE STOP waving your arms around.
And PLEASE try a less emotional speech pattern.

Thanks guys. As an eight year old I bought the first issue of Spiderman. I used to get a quarter allowance a week. I always bought two comic books-twelve cents apiece, and a caramel creme candy, called a bullseye, for a penny. I must confess, I didn't care all that much for Spiderman. I used to have a bit of fear of spiders. I think that's why I wasn't much drawn to him. Yuk yuk. Get it? Drawn to him? I liked the D.C. guys, especially Green Lantern. My friend Steve Jones however almost instantly switched to Marvel. He called Superman "super sickening. Ha ha. Hindsight being twenty-twenty, I should have moved heaven and earth to get my hands on as many of those Spiderman issues as possible.

I can sum up the silver age: A lot space ships, aliens, radiation, robots, lasers, beams, and rays.

I think ever since 2008 we've in the Movie Age of comics

Looking back, Marvel was flat out better than DC in the Silver Age. The Art was on another level. The art is probably even better than whats out now. Even when stacked up against stuff like Infinte Crisis and Watchmen Doomsday clock's beat looking issues

Frankenstein wasn't released by Paramount. They are literally called Universal Monsters. Released by Universal Studios.

More of this pls

Black panther wasn’t the first black superhero it was lion man

these got me hooked!!! SUBSCRIBED

Ha ha, I found that exact Frankenstein model in the attic of an old farmhouse in New Hampshire in 2011. I recognize the gravestone. It says Aurora 1961 on the underside. The one I found was un assembled in mint condition and I got almost 300 for it on ebay.

Where did you get that light blue Japanese Batman shirt?! Must buy.

What if … Ditko initially drew Flash

Love those vintage comics. So much history. So much value. So incredible

This man said variant nation and I really heard Aryan nation lol

Sad to see where comics are today.

These kids are spazzes dude trying to make it to much of a show just talk guys it’s not a movie

Wish this was an hour longer

"The popularity of the Batman show is beginning to... wa(y)ne." Guru looks right at the camera.

For Me 8 yrs; old 1965 - 18 yrs. old 1975 My Last yrs. was Comic at .25 Cents. Stop at .30 Cents.

This is the most excited about hearing about comics I’ve been.

TALK ABOUT THE BIRTH OF FANDOM AND JERRY G. BAILS AND FIRST COMICON. IN SILVER AGE THEY LISTEN TO FANDOM.

Slightly irrelevant but SA Superman is very very OP and without holding back he definitely can sneeze solar systems, easily destroy planets and lift many many planets and punch through reality and easily beat characters like Doomsday, Lobo and Darkseid (avatar) if he wanted.

HOWEVER there are many who can do the same thing and scale directly to him but people don't know characters like SA Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer have feats on the same tier but they are lesser known than SA supes feats. Imo SOMETIMES he is overrated and overestimated Classic/SA Silver Surfer and Thor would clap or at the very least stalemate SA Superman and they both hold back A LOT as much as supes does.

We're gonna start the silver age with "SPEED" and then we're gonna end the silver age with "SPEEDY DOING SPEED AND SHOOTING HEROIN."

Not paramount, it's universal

this video is so informative, saved for later rewatchs.

Great synopsis of the silver age by Jeff and Tom

Stan Lee + Jack Kirby were a dream team powerhouse. You had untold imagination from Stan Lee with new characters like Spider-Man and then an unbelievable artist who created the blue print for comic artists to follow for decades to come with fluid 'animated' stills that invoked power and motion on a still page.

This the best comic you tube

Thor and Daredevil are the only two DVD ROMS that I don't have that they won't make that I want. Sorry, that they stopped making them. I know that they wanted to expand their Marvel site. I understand. Big disappointment. Stick to your word.

The silver age > golden age 🤷🏾‍♀️

Silver age 🔥

Thought he said “Aryan nation” every time he tried to say variant. Lmao

Comic books are seeds that can grow into something bigger.

Kennedy was shot in 63.... 66 was 3 years after that not 2.

Where did you get your info? Every (3 different articles) story I've read indicates the Hulk became green due to printing problems.

Smash me some hulk, Tom...love me some flash, just call me an old Flasher. Lol...love you guys, keep up the great work.

"Just had this successful show, of batman but that's beginning to 'wayne.'" lol great unintentional pun

I love how it's DC's trinity (Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman) that survived the Golden age of Comics.

Even when I was kid...I thought DC comics were kinda lame, so I read Marvel instead. It was Jack (King) Kirby and Stan (The Man) Lee...nuff said.

Correction.... five superheroes survived the transition. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. The latter two didn't have their own book, but continued uninterrupted in the pages of More Fun Comics and Adventure Comics.

The bettle looking like smoosh
