Athelind Long's Superhero Chronology

Cross-Published from my Blogspot blog, Kirby Dots & Ditko Ribbons. INTRODUCTION  There's a tendency to divide the different eras of comic book superheroes into "Golden," "Silver", and "Modern," with occasional, tentative attempts to parcel off the Bronze Age, as well.

Let's just say that this lacks nuance. The Superhero Genre has gone through a lot of trends and phases and distinctive cultures over the years, and lumping almost half of its history into some concept of "The Modern Age" is just phoning it in. 

Some notes: 

This is not quite the same as the ages of COMICS, though there's similar nomenclature, largely because comics history tends to focus on the superhero genre even when it tries not to. This is about SUPERHEROES, in more than just a single medium; the "Ages" only indirectly impact other genres. 

All dates are approximate. 

There's plenty of overlap between Silver/Bronze, Bronze/Iron, and Iron/Aluminum, but when I started looking a keystone events, I was astonished by how neatly everything fell into 15-year chunks! 

THE CHRONOLOGY

Prelude (1830s-1938): The dawn of mass-produced popular culture: penny dreadfuls, dime novels, pulp magazines, newspaper comic strips. Folk heroes and detectives start sharing the pages with costumed adventurers, some with peak-human or superhuman abilities. Professor Challenger, Sherlock Holmes, The Nyctalope, The Shadow, Doc Savage. 

Golden Age (1938-1953): Begins with Superman, of course; ends with Post-War Superhero Implosion and Frederic Wertham's anti-comics crusade. The JSA stopped appearing in All-Star Comics in 1951. Fawcett stopped publishing Captain Marvel in 1953. 

Interregnum (1950ish-1960ish): A lot of historians make much of the gap between the Golden and Silver Ages, but, in retrospect, it's surprisingly brief. Superheroes never really go away, but they are de-emphasized in favor of other genres in comics, including horror, romance, and science fiction. Even at DC, other than Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, superheroes are relegated to back-up stories in anthology titles. Still, The Adventures of Superman with George Reeves remained popular throughout this period. 

Silver Age (1954-1970): The Reign of the Comics Code Authority (est. 1954). Really starts to roll with the demise of EC Comics and the reboot of The Flash; peaks with the "camp" craze popularized by the 1966 Batman TV series; ends when Kirby Moves to DC and Marvel publishes the Spider-Man Drug Stories without the Code Stamp. Early on, formerly-anonymous creators start getting openly credited on the title pages of their stories; this starts at Marvel, but DC eventually follows suit. 

Bronze Age (1971-1985): Begins with O'Neil and Adams revamping Batman and Green Lantern; Ends with the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Both DC and Marvel start paying closer attention to continuity and "relevance", and the most successful titles are the ones that most fully embrace an ongoing serial storyline (Legion of Super-Heroes, X-Men, The New Teen Titans). The specialty comic book shop starts becoming more common at the beginning of the era, and the closing years of the era herald a growing Creator's Rights movement, the birth of the Direct Market -- and the dawn of the independent publishers. 

Iron Age (1986-2000): Begins with Deconstruction: Elementals, The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, and the Wild Cards "mosaic novel" series. Ends with Reconstruction: Morrison's JLA, among others. Dominated by a determined effort to Take Superhero Comics Seriously. The Big Two kill off or "reinvent" goofy, campy Silver Age characters. DC tries very hard to bring coherency and consistency to its new, Post-Crisis timeline. Several independent publishers try cold-starting superhero "universes" of their own; most of them fail, but a lucky few manage to sell their characters to the Big Two (Ultraverse, Wildstorm). 

Aluminum Age (2000-2015): When Everything is Recycled. Marvel starts the Ultimate Universe. DC resurrects Silver Age characters who got killed off in the Bronze and Iron Age. The Comics Code finally dies in 2011. DC does a succession of "sequels" to Crisis on Infinite Earths: Identity Crisis (2004), Infinite Crisis (2005-2006), and the deceptively-named Final Crisis (2008), culminating in another Hard Reboot with the New 52 in 2011. Marvel does its own version of Crisis with the Multiverse Incursion story arc in New Avengers from 2013-2015. "Decompression" and "writing for the trade" become common as trade-paperback collections become more economically important than the traditional monthly comic magazines ("floppies"). 

Digital Age (2015-Current): Superhero not only become mainstream, but actually dominate movies and TV for several years -- this starts in the Aluminum Age, with the MCU in 2008, but is solidly codified by the debut of Arrow in 2015 and an explosion of weekly prime-time superhero shows that lasts almost a decade.

Comments are welcome, but be civil! This is intended to provoke conversations, not fights.

A few takeaways:

Vox died just before color TV came around

They all could have worn blue jeans in life

Angel Dust and Vox lived through both World Wars and they were likely at an age to be drafted into service during WWII. Maybe that's where Angel got so good with Tommy Guns? And MP-40s, come to think of it...

30 movies that absolutely devastated me in alphabetical order

Cinematic experiences that made me cry, made me cry, haunted me with a days-long feeling of emptiness, made me vent about the Injustice, and/or stunned me with their harsh realities and lessons

Doomed by the narrative. The love was there. Right person wrong time. The uniquely angst-ridden female experience. Being forced to grow up too fast. Self-destruction. Revenge. Star-crossed lovers. Striving for something unattainable or just plain failing to reach your obsessive goal. The ends didn't justify the means. What might have been. Corruption arcs. Bittersweet redemption arcs. Bittersweet endings. The senseless cruelty that the world sometimes thrusts upon random and innocent people. There's a sprinkle of everything here.

SET TWO - ROUND ONE - MATCH TWO

"Diary Page" (1953 - Frida Kahlo) / "Les Jours Gigantesques (The Titanic Days)" (1928 - René Magritte)

DIARY PAGE: This is the page of her diary from the night before her surgery to amputate her foot. It is the origin of her quote, "feet, what do I need you for, when I have wings to fly?". The quote is used often kind of flippantly I feel, but seeing it illustrated on the page, the blood-red watercolor dripping behind it, the thorns snaking out of the calf, the pedestalization of the feet, contorted almost in a dance step, even as one is severed? It's powerful to me. This image is the lockscreen on my phone, and has been for almost 5 years. I saw this diary page a couple of years back in person at a frida kahlo exhibit in nyc. Though small it commands respect in person. (sepulchral-pulchritude)

LES JOURS GIGANTESQUES: I saw this in person and it was the first time I can remember art making me viscerally uncomfortable. I had to get away from it as soon as I saw it. (datclassydame)

("Diary Page" is a page from Frida Kahlo's diary from 1953.

"Les Jours Gigantesques (The Titanic Days)" is a 1928 oil on canvas painting done by René Magritte. It measures 72.4 x 54 cm (28.5 x 21 in). It is currently held in a private collection.)

forever emotional about the fact that Jack Phillips turned 25 only four days before the Titanic sank. he had so much life left to live.

on April 11th, 1913, he would've turned 26.

on April 11th, 1953, he would've been 66 (the age Harold Bride was when he died in 1956).

today marks his 137th birthday.

just. forever emotional

Roman Holiday 1953? And/Or Breakfast at Tiffany’s 1961? I love those two 🥰

I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED!

For my full thoughts on Roman Holiday, check out the Thunderquack podcast, where host Mike was kind enough to invite me on to gush about one of my favorite movies:

But in short, Roman Holiday is an incredible, beat-for-beat example of a Swan Maiden tale! The basic format for this tale is that a magical bride descends from the otherworld and is captured by a mortal man, usually by means of him taking her clothes/animal skin OR by placing his own clothes on her. They live together happily for a time, but eventually she retrieves her pelt and returns to the otherworld, leaving her earthly husband behind forever.

In Roman Holiday, Anne is a princess who longs to escape her royal world, so she flees into the streets where she is effectively captured by Joe Bradley, who then lends her his pajamas to sleep in. In this sense, he has claimed her as his bride by placing his own clothes on her, and letting her sleep in his own bed. They then have many adventures together, but in time Anne realizes she must return to her royal duties, and the couple separates. Remarkably, in her final scene, Audrey's costume (particularly her headpiece) actually resembles Odette's in most productions of Swan Lake:

The behind-the-scenes story of this film is just as fascinating: director William Wyler was one of five Hollywood filmmakers who documented World War 2 (mostly for Allied propaganda), and he was present at the liberation of Rome, so his perspective of the city bleeds through his film. Further, he had lost most of his hearing on bomber runs during the war, so his post-war work leans heavily on visual language; it is easy to follow the entire story without sound. Wyler would go on to direct Ben Hur, which held the record for the most Oscars won by a single film until Titanic surpassed it in 1997. I strongly recommend the Netflix documentary Five Came Back if you're interested in learning more.

Thank you again for the wonderful prompt!
