These dudes are into this convo. They are giving the lines like they're calling a UFC match.
I know right! It’s awesome to listen to lol
I couldn't stand it tbh
Felt really disingenuous
@@izdatbOi i said the same thing
try watching it in x2 speed ;;D sht was liek they were on crack but it was awesome
@@lionelsenga3752 lmao
I remember having The Punisher's debut issue, the Demon in a Bottle arc, Frank Miller's Ronin, the Dark Phoenix Saga, Secret Wars, Crisis on Infinite Earths and the Superman/Spider-Man crossover- I used to have a lot of these comics but time and younger siblings took their toll. What a time for comics!
K collier who will win the fight silver surfer ( marvel ) or darkseid ( dc ) and why?
What an awesome time to have been collecting these.
Real OG comic book fans and collectors would know how valuable this information is 💯
Agreed!
Absolutely
Without a doubt!
Totally agree with you
So much amazing history in our collectible. It’s just a rabbit hole of stories and information when start traveling that path.
The bronze age was my era of comics, I was born in 67' and started in with comics in the late 70's. I missed out on quite a bit before that but between reprints, compilations and the like I had at least a passing familiarity with most of it. Some days...some days I really wish I could go back, start sooner and be able to read them all again for the first time.
Better start late than never. I'm glad we have you on board Sr
I was born in '67 as well but was into comics way earlier. Had a 45 player in my room and had the follow-along Bat-Man and Spider-Man books.
Loved this episode! I started reading comics in the mid to late 70's and remember all these topics like drugs and violence being discussed. As a poor Hispanic kid growing up in Miami, these were issues I could relate to.
Facts
Finally a sequel to the Silver Age comics. Time to see some more comic history.
Can’t wait for the modern age of comics video
I love sequels
Puzzledhypnoshroom who will win the fight silver surfer ( marvel ) or starscream ( transformers ) and why?
@@joshwright4799 silver surfer because he’s technically a herald of galactus
@@puzzledhypnoshroom1004 worthy of Mjölnir and took Thanos on and even gave him a fight
Jesus, you guys just triggered a major memory of my mom taking me to the newsstand when I was a little kid and getting me comics! I had forgotten about that so thank you so much. Put a big smile on my face remembering that.
The pope was in a comic?
....cool!
Damn this was good!
Mother Theresa had one too.
Grey world who will win the fight swamp thing ( dc ) or sideshow bob ( Simpsons ) and why?
@@joshwright4799 the green.
Dont forget the superhero team called the saint squad.
I literally just watched the silver age episode yesterday, subscribed to comic Tom, and wondered when the Bronze Age episode would premiere... and here we are. So, excited!
As a child of the Bronze Age, I truly appreciate this episode, but how could you guys forget about Shogun Warriors in the toy comic genre?? Raydeen 4 lyfe, yo!
Todd m. Who will win the fight Luke cage ( marvel ) or bowser ( super Mario bros ) and why?
That was the first Marvel comic I remember
Personally, I think Wolverine is the most unique character ever made. His metal claws and skeleton are unique only to him. His character also introduced the healing factor when everyone else just had Super Durability.
I guess he's kinda unique. But I wouldn't call him the most unique character ever made lmao. I'd say he's on the same level as Firestorm when it comes to uniqueness. And didn't the Flash have a healing factor before him?
@@JohnDoe97637 flash has accelerated healing but wolverine can survive bullets, have his body completely melted, have the metal taken from his bones etc so he has a healing factor
@@tezmard3003 Healing factors are usually just defined at having the ability to recover from bodily injuries at a superhuman rate. I see what you mean though.
I mean Superman is the first so he's technically the most unique.
@@MonkeyDBatman Since his archetype got copied over and over it kinda dissolved his uniqueness in a way. He's definitely one of the greatest though.
This ep just further deepens my love for the art/stories and history of comics and the characters they have brought into my life!
I have the entire Silver Surfer run. As well as doubles and triples. My collection is strong.
Goals 😭
This was a fun one. I like a good crossover.
PROBABLY MY FAVORITE ERA..AND A LITTLE AFTER, ABOUT 1990 ISH..
Love this time frame as well. Golden Age is my favorite, but Bronze Age is easily my second.
I think the bronze age must be the coolest age in comic history
I do really appreciate learning the history of the industry, as I will be making my own comics and publishing them.
I need that issue of New Teen Titans!
Holy bananas, these guys are great.
Well researched and concisely edited historical narrative.
But this video actually makes me sad, to remember how good comics USED to be, and how awful they are now.
Thank you for the nostalgia.
Really appreciate the high praise Jon. Thanks for taking time in your day to watch us. 👍
I did a presentation about the ages of comics a few years ago in school
Love you guys always there to brighten up my day. Keep doing what you’re doing
Wow what a lucky time to check my YT notifications
This was so good. I love knowing about the history of comics.
I have to be up early in the morning... but BEST BELIEVE THIS VIDEO WILL BE ON for my drive to work!
Thanks GMoney, hope you enjoyed it on the drive.
This is awesome, thank you all for giving us an insight on the history of this era.
I knew in my gut that this video would be up today this was incredible. I love comic book history
I had so many of these books as a kid. I loved reading the stories and was impressed with the artwork.
I'd like to see the history of the Modern Age of Comics.
Devin mceachern who will win the fight silver surfer ( marvel ) or hydra ( greek mythology ) and why?
@@joshwright4799 I've heard of Hercules defeating the Hydra in Greek mythology, but I'd like to see the Silver Surfer defeat the Hydra from Greek mythology because that would be a battle for the ages. You talk about the Silver Surfer. Power Cosmic inside of him. The Hydra has three heads. Cut one head and grow another one.
Same here
We will definitely get there, but next up, is The Copper Age.
@@goldenageguru _Grazie mille._ That's "thank you very much" in Italian.
I remember that time in comics. They were good times.
Fun fact that red head on the cover of that swamp thing comic is a young Louise Simonson!
When is your how powerful is vision video coming?
OMG!!!! You guys are amazing I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Marvel and DC to grow up with even Black Horse Comics with spawn oh my God every bit of it was just worth the read it really helped me through a lot of hard times with stuff that went on in my home I could just Escape into those Marvel and DC are amazing and so are you guys I love variant I never miss an episode or a podcast
Really, really, really appreciate the enthusiasm and massive support. Love hearing the influence that comics have in your life.
This is really cool , thank you to this channel
Most of Bronze Age I was busy in school and didn't buy much, though I did pick up that Battle of the Century, still have it, the glue is coming off the cover now. Nice copy, bagged and boarded.
You guy’s forget to mention that this era of comics introduced thanos (and I don’t know if the introduction of ra's al ghul and the league of assassins and the joker five way revenge are important) and the teen titans judas contract storyline.
I’m surprised thanos and Jim Stalin’s run wasn’t mentioned, that’s definitely some great Bronze Age stuff
Great video! It’s always great getting more knowledge about this hobby we love 😎
This is so intense! I love it! This makes me wanna be a comic reader
Love Tom and Jeff! They know their stuff and you can clearly tell they love it!
I love the enthusiasm. Heartwarming
Marvelously spectacular video. Much love keep up the excellent work.
I know this is an old vid but I just saw it for the first time. Awesome history with all three eras. I'd love to see you talk about the Cooper Age and Platinum Age. Maybe even a small vid on the Modern Age.
I have a reprint of the spiderman vs superman comic lol spidey is like "this is a stealth mission " but supes is like "frak that door & the door behind it"
I prefer the Bronze Age. This age was starting to adapt darker stories and psychological trauma. The Bronze Age has some similarities to the Modern Age. Some of the Bronze Age stories are for younger audiences such as Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, and Batgirl. In my opinion, I prefer the Bronze Age. I know the Bronze Age of Comics. After the Bronze Age, there's the Copper Age. I believe the Bronze and Copper Age of Comics, can be together as one era. Many people believed what if the Bronze Age of Comics still kept on going. For nearly 20 years. This explains why there's the Copper Age, known as the Post Bronze Age. The Copper Age, should be more like a companion and continuation of the Bronze Age. My idea naming for this era should be as "Bronze/Copper Age of Comics". Much like the Gold and Silver Age should be combined together. The Dark Age of Comics actually began with Rob Liefeld era and the start of the edgy aesthetic. This is why the Bronze and Copper should be combined together. This when the age of Patriotism and Innocence were slowly fading out. Which makes comics and other media be more philosophical, serious, mature, tragedy, and worth something fighting for. This is what feels like the beginning of the end.
The Bronze Age is for me the start of everything! Great video again!
Man that Swamp Thing no1 looks AMAZING!!!
This was a great video! Informative and interesting!
Awesome work guys love it
I knew all that, but still fun to watch. I wonder what happened to my copy of Teen Titans 1?
Another awesome video. Detailed as always. Great info and great giveaway books.
Thank you so much FallenHero. 🙏
I'm glad to get some information about this era.
Not to hijack this video, but a quick note is that ComicDrake has an in depth video of the Pope Comic they mention around 14:00, if you guys are interested. Its pretty neat.
Let's be real, Superman vs Spider-Man was NOT an even matchup but hey.
Yeah, spider-man has the proportional strength of a spider! Do you know how much that is? Like God damn.
Spider-Man to Superman is like Hulk vs Hawkeye x1000000000000000
Thank for teacher me of the history
Thank you Dragon, for the support and kind words.
Awesome job Tom and Jeff! Bronze is soooo good!!
The bronze age is ny absolute favorite period in comics!
When Jack Kirby first came to DC he was asked what book he wanted to work on. He didn’t want to throw anybody out of a job so he asked “What’s your worst seller?” They said “Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen.” He said “I’ll take that one.” Inside a year he introduced The Fourth World, The New God’s & Darkseid. And made it into DC’s best selling title.
Great overview guys!!!
This is the kind of history lesson I live for
Bruhhhh I’ve been waiting so long for this 😭
Can't wait to see the fourth and final episodes of this series.
Ah Variant I love these videos
Id like to see a more up to date version or top 50 Bronze Age
Great job guys!!!!
Superman vs Spiderman! I actually have one my dad gave me! By far my favorite comic I own!! 😁
What a great piece to have been given by your dad. It really is a cool book to flip through and own.
My favorite comic book characters from the Bronze age are
Wolverine
The Punisher
Swamp Thing
Firestorm
Katana
Blade
Moon Knight
Shang Chi
Cyborg
Starfire
Raven
Iron Fist
Luke Cage/Power Man
Storm
Nightcrawler
Colossus
Banshee
Jason Blood/Etrigan
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Leo, Donnie, Mikey, Ralph
Splinter
Conan The Barbarian
Black Lightning
Keep them coming guys
I love how Dc and Marvel try to made their comic little realistic. Some of the comics are based on off on real life events. Drugs, alcohol, addiction, and suicidal events. Like Tony Stark was addicted to alcohol in the comics.
Man this been a long time coming
"this comic has the darkest themes"
Berserk: what?
Any chance we could get a video showcasing the best comics/collectibles you own?
I love amazing Spider Man 97, 98, and 99!
Reportedly, Jack Kirby told the DC editors (after leaving Marvel) to give him their lowest selling comic because he didn’t want to displace any creators on a successful series.
I still remember getting Teen Titans #1 and loving it.
We need a Micronauts Omnibus or Epic Collection.
Teen titans by marv and George changed my life because it was the first comics I ever read its what instilled the fire and passion I have for comics today years later I'm not old enough to have read it right off the presses I got it from a flea market it all started with "tales of the new teen titans" cyborg, raven, changeling, and starfires origins and they all really hit me that level of writing and that art style is my peak standard for comics today I absolutely love it
Those two dudes where awesome, great vid
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I've been WAITING for this video!!! 😁😁😁
Thank you for talking about my fav era of comics; second is 1985 through 2005, and third is early 1900s (comic strips to to comic books starting) to 1939. Since 2006 they have, in my view, been too many retcons/remakes/reboots/retellings/redrawings. Plus in 2009 Peter Parker was drawn in a way he looks buff, Parker/Spider-Man was always cool for many reasons one being he was built like a normal guy not another Superman nor Batman.
Under appreciated era more vids like this
It'd be great 1f this video was accompanied by a list of these comics, Tom & Golden Age Guy & Arris.
I'm all for this
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
bronze age is greatest age for comics and id swamp it's responsible for my favorite character swamp thing
As a collector who bought comic books from the newsstands in the 70s and 80s, it didn't bother me what people thought when I bought a comic book at a store. I knew there were those who thought you were dumb if you read comics. This was true all the way through high school. It didn't bother me - until I got to college. I remember one time there were a couple of pretty coed girls looking at me like I had mental deficiency walking in the dorm with comic book. I had a roommate who thought it was dumb reading Thor even though my reading comprehension was better than that of the average college student. So, I agree that the comic shops are a great place to go. However, if you live in a small town like me, you have to drive a good distance to get to one. That's what lost from the newsstands today. The availability of buying comic books. I can no longer just go down the street to buy one. I don't blame the comic shops. I blame all of those who thought comic books were dumb.
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal (Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
I know a guy in the comics industry that was friends with both those guys
Gold, silver, bronze, what's next?
Next up will be the History of The Copper Age.
Good presentation guys??
AAA PLS A NEW VID TO THE SERIES IM GONNA CRY
John Stewart is still my favorite Green Lantern
Wish there are a lot.of comic shops here in Abu Dhabi.
Marvel greatness
Dc greatness
You forgot to mention that before Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars, there was Marvel's Contest of Champions in 1982
These guys remind me of RLM's Nerd Crew
I missed a lot while I was in the Army.
Growing up in this era the Frank Miller Daredevil run and the Byrne Fantastic Four and Claremount/Byrne X-Men runs were the best of the best. I will give a nod to the New Teen Titans in 1982 but at that time DC was pretty dead.
I love this series, bring on the modern age
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Can you do history of the Blackhawks and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
I am a huge fan of these guys and think the bronze age definitely killed it I would love that Teen Titans comic
