Which Silver Age comics do you recommends?
GL, Flash, LOSH, Hawkman
Can only vouch for Spiderman and Daredevil original runs because they're the ones I grew up with.
I'm telling you, I'm a 90s kid, but that shit is just eternal

Thanks
Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four is top tier

Silver Age Marvel was pretty good.
FF and Spider-Man are good really quick. Incredible Hulk is sort of a hot mess.
Iron Man and Thor are very communist focused and your mileage will vary.
Captain America is fun. Tales to Astonish with Ant Man is okay.
Avengers is solid. X-Men isn't very good until jut before it gets cancelled.

Seconding these. Joe Kubert Hawks are GOAT

Kubert's art for Hawkman is so flowing and elegant, but I had a hard time taking the space police thing seriously.

>Green Lanterns
>L.E.G.I.O.N.
How many space cops does DC need?

Fantastic Four is the best the Silver Age has to offer, silly and zany, yet still simmering with constant character development and urgency.
I really recommend Silver Age Flash, it's old fashioned superhero goodness, plus the art is fantastic.

superman
I read the Showcase Presents of this and was surprised at how good it was. Robert Kanigher is the writer on all the stories, I think, and though they do follow a certain formula, with repeated phrases as in his Sgt Rock stories (The sky is the killer of us all!), it didn't bother me as it does in those. Also, the art is mostly by Kubert but John Severin also contributes some great-looking stories.

All of them. Get reading.

Flash.

Silver Age Superman, Jimmy Olsen, and Lois Lane are all absolutely insane and I wouldn't have it any other way.
