Flash forward: The Super Hero in the Space Age With Super Heroes nearly extinct at the start of the 1950s, DC Comics reignited the fire that would make them central to modern popular culture by infusing them with science fiction elements. To circumvent the limitations of the self-censoring Comics Code Authority, DC Comics’ writers and editors spun ever-more fantastic tales, bringing Super Heroes and Bob Hope alike into the realm of sci-fi. The results were transformative, delivering the first-ever “reboot” of Golden Age greats with the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman as well as the hit TV show Batman. The Silver Age of DC Comics chronicles it all, right down to the wacky shenanigans of television’s Batman, which made him the embodiment for the camp sensibility of the ’60s and further immortalized the Dark Knight as a pop culture icon for generations to come. Plus a new exclusive interview with Green Lantern/Batman artist Neal Adams!
About the series: TASCHEN’s series on DC Comics explores the origins of comics’ most enduring legends and the behind-the-scenes stories of the men and women who created them, era by era. Expanded from the Eisner Award–winning XL book, 75 Years of DC Comics, this new series hits the shelf at a reader-friendly size with essays updated by author Paul Levitz and more than 1,000 new images across five volumes. Thousands of covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and collectibles have been reproduced to bring the story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life, making this an invaluable reference for comics fans.

COMIC BOOK AWESOMENESS in hardcover form
By Mark Strelecki
Talk about a trip down memory lane! Paul's wonderfully BIG hardcover book is at times an interesting read as well as a nostalgic tribute to the glory and beauty that was the Silver Age of comics. Full page reproductions of comics, as well as tons of other pictures will remind you of the time when you were an active consumer of comic books, and make you feel good all over, again. I have just started reading this huge tome and I will say that each time I sit down with it, I am struck by the power of the imagery as well as the words, and I remember why I was so interested in collecting "back in the day". Yes, I not only purchased my stuff off the comic racks in the local supermarkets and magazine stands in the drug store, but also from back issue merchants like Howard Rogofsky and Grand Book Center in New York. The Silver Age was an explosive time in the comics business, and some of the stories Paul tells will enlighten you, while all of them will entertain you. Thanks for a great book!

SIlver Age DC
By Mutant Press
I wanted to love this book. I really did. I grew up during this era, and as a baby boomer that started reading comics in the early sixties, this should have been a brilliant tour down memory lane. The previous volume on the Golden Age was outstanding, so I expected no less. But the choice of material used and the copies of the comics used left a lot to be desired. I have owned some of these comics in my life, and frankly, DC should have spent a few bucks to get better grade issues for reproductions. Many of these had rolled spines, cracks, dings and they looked like the cat dragged them in. In a $59.99 copy table book like this DC needs to have better quality images. Two Morrows has published a wonderful book on the Silver Age from 196-1964 that is far superior to this. I wanted to see more DC Science Fiction such as The Space Museum or Atomic Knights. Coverage of DC on their wonderful mystery comics was sparse at best. I did like the Flash coverage, but again, the condition of the comics used was rag tag. Don’t they have file copies of these in better shape?
And why so much about the campy, wretched Batman TV show? One page would have sufficed. I would have preferred a cover gallery of Infantino and Adams covers instead.
So, please DC, reprint in color Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space. I have the Adam Strange volumes, and they are nice, but there is a plethora of wonderful sci-fi tales from the late 50’s to the 60’s that need to be preserved, like Atlas has done with their late 50’s tales.
What I did enjoy were the old photos of newsstands filled with the comic books of the day. It was such a different time, before the direct market and comic shops. There were a few stores in Hollywood that I used to go to for back issues like Bond Street Books, Collectors Book Store and Cherokee Comics, but they have all faded into history.
I still want to thank Mr. Levitz for this book. I was a subscriber to his fanzine Wonderful World of Comics back in the early 1970’s and later The Comic Reader. I know that he approaches these projects with his heart in the right place.

DC COMICS
By William Jackson
Some comic book fans are DC fans or Marvel fans. Well, when I started reading comics there was no Marvel. Not only
was there no Marvel, but there were only three, yes three super heroes---SUPERMAN, BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN.
i know the " silver age " started with SHOWCASE # 4 ( pictured on the book cover ) but really the " silver age " didn't
start until December of 1959 with THE FLASH # 105 ( Imagine, a comic that started with no number one issue ) I know
why it didn't, but buy this book and find that out. After the success of the FLASH, as they say----the rest is history---
GREEN LANTERN, HAWKMAN, THE ATOM, CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN, ADAM STRANGE, SGT. ROCK,
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, SPACE RANGER, DEADMAN, ENEMY ACE, RIP HUNTER, SEA DEVILS, THE
METAL MEN, TEEN TITANS not to mention the MARVEL AGE----the FANTASTIC FOUR, SPIDERMAN, IRON MAN,
THOR, NICK FURY, DOCTOR STRANGE, the HULK, the revival of CAPTAIN AMERICA, the X-MEN and from other
publishers MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER, DOCTOR SOLAR, THE FLY etc.. I know, I got carried away---this book
only covers the " silver age " of DC but that is more than enough----400 pages of DC history that a lot of us baby
boomers grew up reading. I still have some of those comics today---the FLASH all the Infantino issues, GREEN
LANTER all the Kane and Adams iusses, and the Kubert SGT. ROCK issues. All I can say is buy this book and
enjoy !!!
