I hear a lot of talk about such and such years not being good years. How this decade was better then that. It got me to wonder. What era of comics would you say is your favorite? What years do you love to read and can not put down? Not which ones were the best for the industry, or whatever from a sales or art standpoint. But which ones for you were the best and why?
People who follow my posts will find this as no shock. But for me there are two eras I love to read. The Golden Age Dc. I love the early Superman, batman and JSA. I could read those day after day and I do. I love how every good guy scientist is an expert fighter, and master detective. How a man who runs faster then anyone in the world beats his foes by stealing their clothes. Where the goal of every wealthy playboy is to put on a costume and make the world a better place. I want to live in a world where college eduated people can not figure out that the 5 foot 4 man they mockingly call Atom and the 5 foot 4 superhero named Atom are one in the same.
I also love reading 60s and 70s Marvel. There is just so much about them that I love. I love seeing the origins of the heroes and villains. I love reading without years and years of back story and history to try and muddle through. I love reading before things got dark and complicated. When the biggest problem was Magneto trying to take over the world or Doctor Doom stealing Silver Surfers cosmic power. Just off the wall plots and goofy endings.
So how about you? Dont just tell us an era. Let us know why you like it. I would love to get a good talk going on the different yeas of comics
