But it is more reasonable, and more even, as ages are in fact just labels, as most terminology is. Each and every isolation is a means, not an end, the timeline is a whole.
I am interested in Marvel, so my perception is mostly related to Marvel and I tend to agree with the 1980-81 model. For me, in general, it has a lot to do with editors and their choices as well, so surely the Bronze Age for me is under Jim Shooter as opposed to Marv Wolfman and what went on before, and the modern age is shared between DeFalco and Quesada.
Surely not 1986 anyway, it’s between the late 1970s and 1984, in this most evaluations coincide.
