Rarely have Golden Age tales held my attention and only the very exceptional Silver Age ones, Fantastic Four, Amazing Spiderman, Batman but to each his own. The longer story arcs, revisiting seeds planted earlier might not have been invented in the Bronze but in ways it seems to have been improved there (was going to say perfected but that is purely subjective). It isn't just a matter of storytelling getting more complicated over time because I wouldn't say any eras/ages post Bronze are any more intricate per se. I know one can't generalized eras per se, there are some books out now that have a Golden Age mentality and some books in the past that are way ahead of their time but in general how would you generally define the storytelling zeitgeist of the eras?
