Definitely the Bronze Age for me. It's 75% of the comics I collected and read. Justice League of America (satellite years), Legion of Super Heroes, New Teen Titans, etc...
I do believe some great books came after COIE, but nothing was better than the Bronze Age IMO.

For those who are interested in really diving into Golden Age stuff, we are currently doing a re-read of Wonder Woman from the start over in the Wonder Woman forum. We are only up to Sensation Comics #7 yet, so plenty of opportunity to join!

Totally my opinion too. Especially the 80’s DC books.

I have no idea. I’m just going by Wikipedia, and DC’s timeline from Superman’s first appearance, which was in 1938. Anything that came before has been coined the Platinum Age of comics. Originally Posted by shooshoomanjoe

Bronze Age for me.
It was when I first discovered comics and was HOOKED"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

Voted Bronze Age because I started reading comics around 1974 at age 5--a good age to start then since comics then were still for kids--with the more mature stuff (Vertigo/DKR/Watchmen) first hitting when I was in high school. I might have aged out had comics not grown up at really the same time that I was growing up. I think that's probably unique to being just about precisely the age that I am. I can't imagine that quite as many comic fans that read Golden Age comics as children would necessary continue to follow into the Silver Age as adults, because Silver Age comics were still very much for kids.
