The Golden Age Of Comic Books

POSTED APRIL 3, 2017 MGUITMANN
Comic books as we know them have been around since the 1930s. The first
decade and a half of comic books has been labeled as the Golden Age. The
Golden Age of comic books has not only shaped some of the stories, heroes and
villains we all know and love today, but it left behind some of the most valuable
comic books around since they are historically significant and in fairly low supply.
So when was the Golden Age of comics and what happened during it?
The Golden Age Of Comics (1938-1956)

Technically, the Golden Age of comics took place between 1938 and 1956. It’s
the first era of the four comic book ages. Many iconic characters were introduced
in this time period and became part of American culture at a very interesting point
in our history.
Comic Books As We Know Them Went Into Print

Detective Comics, predecessor of DC Comics of today, went into print, known for
Action Comics among others. The success of DC Comics led to other companies
throwing their hat in the ring with their own characters and stories that laid the
groundwork for most comics we know today.
Famous Superheros Were Born

In Action Comics, we were introduced to Superman. Detective comics also
introduced us to Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern and
Aquaman in this time period. Marvel Comics — then known as Timely Comics —
introduced us to Captain America during the Golden Age.
Different Niches Began Developing

The Golden Age also brought us the beginning of humorous comics such as
Mad, and children’s characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Tarzan.
Various print houses further developed their storylines and characters, branching
out in different directions and experimenting with different genres.
