odin my father,
according to craig shutt of CBG ask mr. silverage the end of the B.A. was legends of the dark knight. anybody on this board that disagrees with Giant Size X-Men # 1 being the start of the B.A. please start you arguements now, Conan # 1 was not the start of the B.A., and yes Tomb of Dracula is not part of the B.A. Action # 1 started the super hoero age, Showcase # 4 started the revitaliztion of super-heros, and Giant Size X-Men started intrest in super-heros again between Marvel and DC. Yes, there was gaps inbetween the ages, that's why Conan # 1 is not the start of the B.A. As mentioned in CBG 1497 via Craig Schutt, 1951-1956 (the Atomic Age?), second gap (1970-1975 Monster Age?) GL/GA 76 was a great issue, but has no catalyst to the B.A.
