Silver age comics were one of the most successful eras in regards to comic books and comic book lovers all over the world.  This was an era that followed that of the Golden age Comic Books that were about in the early 1950’s, and is said to have all began in 1956 and lasted throughout the rest of the 50’s and 60’s until finally ending in 1970.  This era was so great because it brought on the forefront of one of the most successful types of comic book styles, the superhero comics.

Stan Lee, Garder Fox, and John Broome were all some of the famous comic writers of this time while people such as Gil Kane, Curt Swan, and John Romita, Sr. were all of some of the most famous artists for the Silver age comics. These people were eventually replaced by what was considered “new age” writers and artists, though if it were not for the original writers and artists then there would have never been any knowledge of interest for this particular type of comic books.

For this era, the Silver age Comics, there was a decrease in interest among people everywhere with the superhero comics and more interest pointed towards other types of comics such as romances, horrors, and crimes but eventually many people started to link these types of comic books to young children committing crimes therefore, parents of comic book readers shifted their interests back to those of the superhero genre.  Once people started reading them, popularity among these took off like a rocket and haven’t looked back since.  Since then, Silver age comics have become collectibles and are now very sought after by the many avid collectors in the world and can hold great value in today’s collectors market.  They are very desirable for many, not only due to value, but in their quality as well.
