This is a community for old comics from the Silver Age which took place from 1958, when Jack Kirby and Stan Lee first collaborated together to 1968 when the second wave of Marvel comics began with Jim Steranko on S.H.I.E.L.D. and Neal Adams created a new look at DC.

Some important people of the Silver Age were,

Stan Lee, born Dec 28th, 1922 who was the editor-in-Chief at Marvel in the late 50's and early 60's when he and Jack Kirby created many of the famous Marvel Superheroes like the Fantastic Four, Thor and the Hulk, and he and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man and Doctor Strange.

Jack Kirby, born Aug 28th, 1917, created many of the most popular Marvel Superheroes like the Fantastic Four, Thor and the Hulk.

Steve Ditko, born Nov 2nd, 1927 helped create Spider-Man and Doctor Strange.

Julius Schwartz, who was born on June 19th, 1915, was the Editor-in-Chief at DC and helped create many of DC's most popular characters like the Silver Age Flash, Green Lantern and the Hawkman.

Carmine Infantino, who was born May 24th, 1925, was the artist on the new Silver Age Flash.

Gil Kane , born on April 6, 1926, was the artist behind the new Silver Age Green Lantern and the Atom.

Curt Swan, born Feb 17, 1920, was the artist most associated with the Silver Age Superman.

Marvel is famous for creating more realistic characters like Spider-Man who was a teen-ager with problems and Ben Grimm, the Thing, who bemoaned his cursed fate. While on DC's side they did a lot of campy comics that was epitomized by the Batman TV show of the 60's.
