The Silver Age

It was on a controversial note that the Golden Age ended. The history of American comics was changed forever by the adoption of the Comics Code. It will take decades to break free of it and, even then, its influence would never completely fade away.

In March 1955, the Comics Code’s seal began appearing on DC Comics covers, like Action Comics #202, Superman #96, Batman #90, Detective Comics #217, Wonder Woman #73, and more… but not on too many costume superhero books, as those had already started to fade away.
