The silver age 1956-1968With the new modernized versions of the original Justice Society characters, new editor Julius Schwartz decided to bring back the Justice Society. But instead since Schwartz liked baseball he called them The Justice League of America. So in The Brave and Bold 28 J.L.A. debuted seen tangled in the tentacles of the alien starfish Starro. At the end 1960 J.L.A. got there own comic series. Also in the The silver age there were a lot of comics that were made for teens such as Swing with Scooter, Pat Boone and Teen Beat. And comedy comics were still being published. Adventure comics were selling very well since they had been making Superboy. And in their two hundred seventy first issue the fans got a chance to see Clark Kent and Lex Luthor met. In this issue Lex appears with a full head of hare and was friends with Clark's other ego Superboy. But all his hair falls out when he is making a kryptonite antidote and fumes knock all his hair out. Another big silver age thing happened in May of 1964 in Detective comics 327. Writer John Broome and new artist Carmine Infantino saved Detective comics from cancelation with the new look Batman witch debuted the yellow ellipse around the Bat-emblem. This look was also presented in the Adam West tv show. The 1960's were a very big time for Batman with Poison Ivy being made in 66 and in 69 Dick Grayson going off to college. In the year of Batman getting his new look in The Brave and The Bold 54 Robin, Kid Flash and Aqulad get called to helped a Teenage rights movement in Hatton Corner. But when they find out that all the teenagers have been captured by Mr. Twister they team up to find Mr. Twister and rescue all the teenagers. Though at this time they did not have a team name they would soon be called The Teen Titans. Also in the Silver age not many of the real famous villains were shown in many comics. Batman faced one of his biggest villains yet in 66, The Blockbuster ( Mark Desmond ). Being rescued by a young Bruce Wayne from almost sinking into quicksand Mark thought of himself being scrawny. At an older age he made a serum that would make him taller, bigger and stronger. But threw the process of going threw his body he became a mindless brute. Batman and Robin tackled with him in Detective comics 349 finding out that he can only be relaxed by sight of Bruce Wayne. In 1967 Barbra Gorden was introduced to the family of DC characters In Detective comics 359. While trying to get into a costume ball Barbra sews herself a costume that looks almost alike to Batman's. At the ball protecter of the underworld Killer Moth shows up and is gonna take Bruce Wayne hostage when Barbra jumps into action. Later getting help from Batman and Robin she was granted a partnership with them and Batman said that her helped will be needed. I do consider that The Silver age was one of my favorite comic times. It's was really a treat going threw it with you. Nuff said!
