Is Silver Age best Age?
Absolutely
Honestly, I can't enjoy any comic made before the 80's.
I don't have this problem with graphical novel from countries other than the U.S though.
>>77576247
I'm sorry, friend. I hope one day you find yourself able to enjoy batshit silver age comics.
You're either a hipster or an oldfag. Either way, fuck you.
>>77576275
Captain Haddock?
Objectively yes
>>77575959
Aww yeah, I missed these threads.
>>77576247
What's wrong anon? You don't like fun?
>>77576247
I think of reading Silver Age comics like reading the Bible or the Odyssey or some other ancient text that's mutated everywhere. You won't find artistic coherence or character motivations that make sense, but you've got all the history of modern culture encoded into the stories.
So it doesn't really matter that Superman stories from the '50s make no sense, what matters is that they're full of crazy ideas that have become the basis for every Superman story since then.
Reading some of the early Marvel stuff, like the first Spider-Man story, is almost like reading a holy religious text that everyone has interpreted and re-interpreted through the ages.
>>77576474
>>77576421
I feel that is an astute observation, my main muh fucka.
>>77576247
I'm kinda opposite. 60s? OK! 80s? Great! 70s? No way. I just can't force myself to read them.
Does anyone here have silver age DC that they genuinely love? The Superman books including Legion for me.
>>77576553
I really enjoy a lot of the war comics. Enemy Ace in particular.
>>77576404
>weighting 308 pound was enough to make you more of a freak as a were wolf
time sure changed
I wonder what the story of this one actually is
Anybody have the page of Luthor imagining if he became Superman's Dad?
>>77576247
I found the hipster.
And now for something beautiful...
>>77576760
Got you covered
>>77575959
>>77575959
The way he's wording that sounds like he's giving a tip to the reader, in case they ever have a run-in with a rhino and need to knock it out.
>>77576884
Awesome thank you.
>>77576871
And there're people that don't love namor.
>>77576456
That's an edit.
>>77576247
i can barely enjoy how capeshit made in the 2000's look.its not the scripts its just that im not a fan of panels looking like tv shows or movies.it feels too slow in the wrong places.

I think we need to talk about abuse, Jim. And a completely fucked up ways you're trying to avoid responsibility.
>>77576884
>in my hidden ship, which wasn't really stolen
I like how he has to remind himself of that.
>>77575959
Why is the eye on that rhino so far down its face?
>>77577014
He seriously had to be slapping her every issue or something

The episode of Batman: The Brave and The Bold whre they were homaging Silver Age Superman covers was the best.

Comicsalliance may be a shithole, but they put out some awesome mock-Silver Age covers

>>77576996
Don't forget the "realistic" 2000s color, which now looks incredibly dated.
>>77577409
That's so hot Kappa
>>77576404
Gzptlsnz was a pre-existing character?!!?
>>77577500
Silver Age DC is a helluva drug.
Without Silver Age GL I'd never have known that God has a giant star hand.
>>77576697
I hated it when comics went up to 15 cents.

Is it just a coincidence that this concept was in Hitchhiker's? Has the idea been around longer than either work?

My favourite. More, please.
I'm gonna post some Hal being stupid/clumsy/unlucky. Not sure what exactly qualifies as Silver-Age, but I assume some of these do.
>>77577129
there isn't an anime girl in the world that can emulate the smugness superman is presenting here.

>>77577611
this too
I know this is from a dictionary, but I'm just gonna assume Hal did something tremendously stupid here and the reader just doesn't get to see what it is.
>>77578177
Is this seriously John Stewart's origin story?
>>77576884
has there ever been a plan more based
>>77578348
The fucking fire fighters faces.
>"We could have used these to save lives, Superman."
>>77578359
this needs to happen in the television show.
>>77578370
"Shit, forgot he could fly."

Namor you IDIOT
>>77577022
Wait, is does she have a black eye and bandaid on her face? Olsen you MONSTER!
>>77577798

>>77578143
I resent that.
>>77578368
>Luthor kidnaps a woman
>Clones her
>Kills the original
>Does something to the clone so that if Superman touches her, they'll both be sent to another dimension with no way back
>Brainwashes himself into forgetting all this, becoming good, and falling in love with the cloned woman
>Cures basically all diseases, establishes world peace, is the greatest hero the world has ever known
>Befriends Superman
>Marries the clone
>Makes Superman his best man
>Allows Superman to kiss his wife because apparently the best man kissing the wife is some tradition that no one's ever heard of?
>Superman does it, but flies away before he can be sent to the other dimension, without anyone seeing him
>As soon as this happens, Luthor's robots drag him back to his lair and un-brainwash him
>He becomes evil again and is miserable because the woman he loved is gone
>All just to get rid of Superman, who survived anyway
>Also, Superman was for some reason totally fine with sending the clone to another dimension and allowing Luthor to become evil again
That was the most bizarre storytime I've seen. Anyone know the name of the issue?
>>77578247
Forgot one.
>>77578573
Reminds me of this.
>>77578619
>>77578578
If this isn't exactly how Infinity War Part 2 ends, I'm gonna throw a fit.
>>77578525
This is for real? Holy shit.
40 aren't even enough
Superman, you could have aimed your sneeze literally anywhere. Why did you choose to destroy a solar system that used to hold life? I know aliens are common in your universe, but I'm sure anthropologists would still want to study the remains of these ones.

Action comics v1 #510-512
>>77576222
Storytime?
>>77578714
Thanks, I just found it, actually.
>>77578788
510 and 512 even have Superidckery covers that lie about the events of the comic.
Luthor was totally okay with the kiss in the comic itself.
>>77578805

Has anyone got the one with Batman being flattened and used as a weapon?
>>77579174
>>77576871
He REALLY didn't think things through, did he?
>>77578202
It's from the Super Dictionary. You know it as the source of pic related

This is fantastic.

Why doesn't he lean against the mirror to make it look like he's whole, and just carry it around so nobody gets suspicious?Wait, that isn't what he does, is it?

It seems the only way to make enemies a threat for Green Lantern is by making him a idiot.
>>77585282
I don't see any way she could have possibly been underneath the Sphinx.
>>77576871
Damn Namor, you a shit.
>>77575959
That's not Bronze Age.
>>77576404
I have a pretty prominent boner for Miss Gzptlsnz
>>77585321I still believe the aliens were not real. This was a ridiculously elaborate plan for Supes to trick his underage cousin into sex.

Not silver age (only just after), but there was a point in time where official catholic Archie comics were made, and they were definitely something.
>>77587718
>>77587736
>>77587749
>>77575959
Not sure if this counts
>>77576456
shoop
original is "solid advice"
>>77576513
Not even Green Lantern/Green Arrow?
>>77577412
Nope. IIRC, he was being influenced by some outside force.
>>77578117
This one's actually from the 80s, I believe.
>>77576800
How could such a pleb opinion possibly be hipster? It's like saying someone is a hipster for not liking black and white movies or only listening to music that's currently on the radio. It goes against all logic.
>>77577500
A lot of the covered conveyed something outlandish to grab the reader's attention, then it's either never mentioned in the comic or is shown to be part of a plan.
>>77588113
A lot of them came up with the cover first and then wrote the story so it explained the cover
>>77577384
Let's show this to Anita.
>>77577022
>I'll slap her face several times!

>>77578386
Guess the Joker just stole Superman's idea.
>>77577129
So is this just a single issue in which Jimmy Olsen repeatedly hits his girlfriend by mistake and as a result she wants to leave him?
Because that's hilarious
>>77587870
That comic has aged quite poorly desu.
>>77587763
there's a real specie of spider that does something like that, with an underwater dome of web

I knew Archie comics were always batshit insane, but what the fuck?
>>77576884
if the joker found out who batman was he'd just do something boring like kill alfred
he will always be a scrub compared to luthor

Spidey Super-Stories is cheating (and not Silver Age at all). CHEATER.
>>77590613
Archie religious comics weren't really connected to mainstream Archie -- like how the Teen Titans anti-smoking comics had nothing really to do the Teen Titans monthly comic.
>>77577798
They really couldn't come up with a better mathematical formula than that?
>>77587718
This doesn't seem that Catholic, desu. Definitely more Protestant.
