Also, the Justice League appears as do the Teen Titans (I know both teams - but still). Finally, although Green Lantern and Flash are "re-introduced" in the Silver Age (so not totally original concepts) - Hal Jordan and Barry Allen are pretty pivotal characters in the DC universe (much more so than the original Golden Age Characters) and both books are fairly substantial keys (i think both are top 10 silver age keys along with BB28). I think the point is that Supergirl and Batgirl -- really 'B' characters -- are spinoffs of Supes and Bats. MM is original, but technically Golden Age. JLA is really the JSA refreshed. TT is original -- but most of the heroes are either GA (Robin; Speedy) or spinoff heroes (Wonder Girl; Kid Flash); but see Garth. I love all of their first appearances though! Also the covers of these first appearance books are absolutely epic: SC 4; GL 22; Action 252; Tec 359; JLA 1 and so forth. I really value my copies of these key DC SA books.

oldrover Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) IMHO X-Men 1 has nowhere to go but up. The trajectory of the book, ownership by Disney... they’re in the movie business, I believe... and awesome heroes... plus one of the best villains ever. And I’d say that even if I didn’t own three copies. Edited February 21, 2019 by oldrover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even think of a single 1st appearance of a major DC character that occurred in the Silver Age? You don't consider, Deadman, Zatanna, the Creeper or Hawk & Dove as major heroes?

Old_Man_Adam Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Although I agree DC is older - a majority of Batman’s villains are silver age , plus Hal jordan showed up in 59 ‘ and Barry Allen is on the cusp in 56’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divad Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've owned 3 copies over the years, and I wish I still had all of them . . . alexgross.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
