Will my Bronze age comic books fit in Silver age bags/boards?

You can use them if you’d like. They will be a little bit big for your comics. Basically, comic books have shrunk in size through the years. (Mostly because the publishers wanted to save money by using less paper, ink, transportation costs, etc). So the biggest bags and boards are golden, then silver, and finally bronze.

What’s the difference between the Golden Age of Comic Books and the Silver Age? What are the time periods?

The Golden Age of Comic Books starts from the 1930s when the first Superhero comic books were published (Action Comic spawned Superman;  Detective comics birthed Batman, etc.) until after World War 2 when  Superhero comic books slowly dwindled in sales.  (The public was more interested in crime, romance, and other types of comics).  The Silver Age of Comic Books started in the late 1950s when there was a renaissance in superhero comic books.  This period lasted until around 1970 when it morphed into what we call the Bronze Age of Comics.

Who came up with the term – the Silver Age of Comic Books?

There is no clear answer to this question.  However, many point to the Justice League of America #42, published in 1966, as the first time that “silver age” was mentioned with regards to comics.  In the letters column – a reader named Scott Taylor from Connecticut wrote “If you guys keep bringing back the heroes from the [1930s-1940s] Golden Age, people 20 years from now will be calling this decade the Silver Sixties!”  Although Mr. Taylor didn’t specifically say “Silver Age”, the seed had been planted and prtty soon fans started differentiating ages of comics as Golden Age, Silver Age, and Bronze Age.

What is the difference between Earth-One and Earth-Two?

From 1955 to the mid 1960s, DC comics released brand new versions of superheroes that had already existed.  (A new “Flash”, a new “Green Lantern”, etc.  To differentiate the two types of superheroes, they created two earths.   Characters that first appeared in comics before the Silver Age of Comics lived on an earth called Earth-Two.  Characters that were created in the 1950s and 1960s lived on Earth-one.  These two earths existed in the same time/space but were separated by a vibrational field.  There were ways to cross that field, but generally residents of the two earths didn’t know that each other existed.

Eventually more earths were created, with more characters. It got so that it was confusing for both writers and fans to understand the continuity. So DC published “Crisis on Infinite Earths” which destroyed all the infinite earths and created just one earth.
