A lot of people love comic books from the Gold and Silver Ages. When comic books were going through a change to fit the new distribution of magazines and the shrinking comic book demographics comic book companies began to push the boundaries of what comic books were about.
Most of these radical changes happened in the Bronze Age. Many of the Modern Age key characters seen in comic books today were introduced during the Bronze Age and to me I enjoyed the Bronze Age titles as much as the Silver Age books.
Back Issue! #65, from TwoMorrows Publishing, takes a good hard look at this important age with its Bronze Age 'B' Team issue. Here's what you can expect to read about:
