The Silver Age of Comics is considered to cover the period from 1956 to circa 1970.In this time there were a lot of crazy/weird things happening in which i will show later in this thread.The 1960's Batman show was at the time a good adaptation of what silver age of comics were like at the time.Grant Morrison a current comic-book writer as been known for putting silver age material or things like it in his current comics like All-Star Superman and Batman RIP btw he is one of the best writers in comics.Silver age also introduced likes of Spider-man and Justice League with many others.

So let's start looking at the crazy things the silver age did.Yes these things happen if you are wondering.

 

In the Silver age let's just say Superman was little overpowered

 

 

Destroying A Solar System with a Sneeze

 

 

Effortlessly towing over a dozen planets

 

But let's take break from Superman and look at Batman

 

Batman tries out new costumes

 

Now some Cap from Silver age

Cap is trying to blend in.It looks like he's doing good job at it.

 

"In #92, Cap is fighting against an artificial life form created by AIM to kill Nick Fury. Cap regains his composure and makes one of the greatest declarations in superhero history…"

 

I shall continue pointing out the weird things in silver age in later posts..

Yes i know making fun of Silver age is easy but it never gets old

I love how Superman just happens to know about how an enitre solar system was wiped out by a plague and thinks 'Hm... that's a good place to sneeze...'.

My answer is that silver age writers did whatever they felt like.It raises the question what if he got a cold when he is Clark Kent and Perry is talking to him about some news story and he's got to sneeze but Perry won't let him leave.

 

Superman blows the Earth back into orbit

 

Crazy Stories like i said.Where writers did whatever popped into their minds.

 

Now some Silver age science

lol at mudpies

Some facts about Silver age.Barry Allen became the Flash during this time and also rise of Marvel with things like Fantastic Four and X-men.The biggest names of Silver age are Jack Kirby,Steve Ditko,Stan Lee and there many others.What ended the Silver age were more or less was characters becoming more serious,the end of 12 cent comic and the next line of great writers like Dennis O"Neil who would later write one of my favourite characters The Question.They were other reason of course but these are most cited ones.

 

That's end of that Mini Comic History lesson now back to some silly and awesome Silver Age stories

Poor Superboy

If you want Silver age like story but it to be modern i would recommend checking out DC:The New Frontier.
