Cool, I will check that out. No idea the Joker was in there.

 

Me either. Very nice.

 

I don't know how many people consider 1969 "not SA"...I've heard of the 12/15 cutoff, but I don't know...books like X-Men were solidly silver until the end, into 1970...

 

...not that this is the place to debate ages. If the term isn't clearly defined, it tends to lose meaning, and the question becomes impossible to answer.

 

:whee:

 

 

The Student approached the Zen Master who was reading a comic book.

 

"When did the Silver Age end?", he asked.

 

The Master held up the comic book, it was an old copy of Life with Archie

 

"How long has Archie been in High School?", he replied.

 

"What does that have to do with the Silver Age?" the Student responded.

 

"Exactly", said the Master, and returned to reading his comic.

Trivia question: what was the last Silver Age appearance of the Joker? Hint: it, like Batman 251, was also written by Denny O'Neil.

 

JLA 77 "Snapper Carr Super-Traitor"

 

^^

 

1969 qualifies as SA in my reckoning, particularly since this version of the Joker is just a generic bad guy, virtually interchangeable with any other villain. Comparing his next appearance in Bat 251 really demonstrates the shift from Silver to Bronze Age.
