Bronze Age Keys -The List!

125 posts in this topic

I can't seem to find an acurate list of all the Bronze Age Keys. I don't like the one Overstreet uses because over 40% of them are basically ignored by most of the collectors on this board. Anyone willing to post or pm me a decent list? thumbsup2.gifheadbang.gif

 

So you want the Board's list? confused.gif

 

Everyone is going to have a different list based on their preferences... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

gossip.gif I think a case could also be made for Batman 227 and 244 and possibly Jimmy Olsen 134 as emerging keys...

Yeah... we seem to be getting further and further away from major keys and looking more for the minor keys now. Ra's origin will be more prominent now with the movie.

 

Agreed. We've hit most of the keys from the "Big 2".

Almost listed #251.

 

What about #335? Origin of Ra's?

 

Chris,

#251 was yours thumbsup2.gif (I didn't bother to choose my own font when adding to your list sorry.gif)

 

I'm intrigued by #335.

I remember reading that arc way back when, and thought it nothing particularly special. Do you think it'll become recognized as the origin of Ras? 'Cause I was under the impression that came with the 1990s Graphic Novel "Batman: Birth of the Demon." confused-smiley-013.gif

I like Cerebus #1, that's a definite. Not crazy about listing Wolvie #1 as a key... Donut, you really think that's a key? I dunno. But then again, we've had a very broad definition thus far so...

 

Also, Avengers Ann. 7 doesn't strike me as a real key either.

 

We'd have to list then:

 

Iron Man 55

Captain Marvel 29, 33, 34

Wolverine 1 was the first viable "new X-men" book and was hugely influential at the time.
