We need to name new ages of comics! 1 1

[APDallas]

I was talking to fellow collectors and the topic came up that it has been over 35 years since the end of the copper age. Usually it has been 10-15 year cycles to name a new age of comics. What would you consider a new age and why?

Here is my suggestion:

1992-2000 I would call the CHROMIUM AGE due to the rise of Image comics and the trend to enhance the comics with gimmicks and variants.

2000-2010 I would call the SILICON AGE due to the rise of digital comics.

What do you think? Have a suggestion of your own? Let's hear it.

I know this is crazy but I divide my books like this- Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper, 90s, older drek, newer  drek. 

It works for me.

Not every year in human history since 1938 needs to fall into a comics era. This idea is a trap we have fallen into as a hobby.

everything after the copper age is the MANUFACTURED AGE
