I must be different than most I was born in 1981 and while I grew up with TMNT, Wolverine, X-men, Spiderman, Punisher, Superman-enough of those characters started in the bronze age in similar popular books. I remember the first time that I heard and saw Silver Surfer I was in awe. While I'm sure that the impression that I got was different than those who first saw it in the Silver Age, I don't feel that deminishes my appreciation.
I don't have much of a longing to collect TMNT nor Superman. I did get a kick out of the Batman movie (Adam West and Burt Ward) as a kid (and Batman the animated series), so I can appreciate old Batman comics and don't think of it much as "campy". Superman never really impressed me, as Action 1 was a dream even when I was a kid. I dug the old Superman cartoon but never cared much for the black and white TV show, it seemed corny in a way or not "new" to me (if that makes sense) as I had seen Superman battle Doomsday in the comics. Spiderman shows or cartoons and ultimately movies, I never cared much for. As a kid I got a subscription to "Classic" Amazing Spiderman, so I got the impression of the classic writing and thought it was awesome and a good read Venom hit me the same as Silver Surfer, but when they came out with Carnage I laughed and got turned off cause I thought that they were milking it too much, I do think it would make a decent film if it got the right writer.
