Is he superhero or monster — or is he both?

By frasersherman June 13, 2022 June 16, 2022 2

When I started my Silver Age reread, I didn’t pay much attention to Marvel because I didn’t have any Marvel stuff from the 1950s. As you can see here, most …

Sea Devils, rebooted! Do you care deeply?

By frasersherman May 30, 2022 May 26, 2022 11

As  I mentioned a couple of weeks back, the comics landscape changed a lot between the start of the Silver Age and 1965. It’s no surprising some characters had to …

Frustrated — by J. Jonah Jameson!

By frasersherman May 9, 2022 April 29, 2022 8

Two 34s from 1965

By frasersherman May 2, 2022 May 2, 2022 4

By frasersherman April 25, 2022 April 21, 2022 2

By 1965, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and the other Marvel creators are doing some amazing work. But nobody’s perfect; in “The Strength of the Sumo” (Tales of Suspense #61) Lee …

Daredevil gets old school, Superman gets furious: my last look at 1964.
Comics, Fraser Sherman

Daredevil gets old school, Superman gets furious: my last look at 1964.

By frasersherman April 18, 2022 April 14, 2022 5

Silver Age Marvel gets a lot of credit for telling stories that were more contemporary than old-fashioned DC. “Contemporary” is not how I’d describe Daredevil #5, in which he battles …
