I like Chromium Age...decade of the 90's?

Hopefully, the community will wise up and realize that "ages" cannot be named ad infinitum, and that "the 2000's" will work just fine.

More specifically what will fall between Copper and Modern Age as the new era?

 

First, is there a concensus when Copper begins and ends? Ive always assumed that Copper begins in "early" 80s.

 

I've read in places as early as Dazzler #1 (1981) and beginning as late as the Secret Wars Limited Series(1984-85).

 

Then, I would assume that it "ends" with the departure of Marvel big artists (McFarlene, Silvestri, Larsen, Liefeld,...*giggle*...)and the rise of Image Comics(1992)?

 

So we are in essence talking about is the 1992-20XX Age ?

yes i believe that is correct

 

1992 to 2000's--probably 2005-2008 would end the next age

 

maybe not

How can an ENTIRE AGE last only 8 years....?

I dont know

 

The overstreet grading guide lists the golden age as 1938-1945 and the copper age from 1984-1992

To factor in the implosion of the comics market. It doesn't make sense to have an "age" where circulation on any given book could be reduced by a factor of ten or twelve.

I've heard Chromium tossed around a lot.

 

I bet he didn't like that...

so i take it there has been no discussion within the industry to create an age following the copper age 1992-2005 (roughly)

implosion?

 

The massive reduction in comic readers and collectors and the corresponding reduction in circulation. (thumbs u

i see your point. nonetheless, i think to help perpetuate the hobby, there needs to be another age labeled after the creation of image comics (1992 or 1993) to about 2005

While I don't necessarily disagree, I think the wild fluctuations in the market of comics make it extremely difficult to have and age that spans from 1992-2005. There is virtually nothing of the market in 2005 that in any way approximates the market in 1992.

Bob's been asking for a while now, but I'm playing hard to get.

First the Google browser..now this. Will it never end
