As an 80s kid i might be biased, but to me, the "golden age" of comics
was actually the 1980s, & was predominantly marvel comics & creators at
a certain stage.. i say this because i've noticed a lot of other people seem
to agree, especially here... NOT to disrespect any generations books, just
that when people say "the best period for comics" i always think of THAT
period, even as a massive lee/kirby fan...
So, what do you think was the best, most CREATIVE time for comics? what
was your own personal "golden age"?

well it is not now that is for sure! i think the most creative comics
are when mr byrne is writing or drawing or both of them on the comics.
you can really see how me figures out how to tell great stories without
throwing them away. he keeps so much stuff when he does it and i cant
believe how! when he told the stories about the x-men from all the
years when there was not a x-men comic i really was creativce the way
he fit everything together so nice without mashing up other stories. mr
quesara was a real ass to make that comic stop. also you have to say
that mr lee and mr kirby had very creative comics. you have to admit
the fantastic four was very creative! who could imagine the thing was
really a pirate!

agree about how brilliant xmhy & that lee/kirbys' ff is just genius, BUT (&
this really illustrates "my golden age" perfectly) to me, in a strange way
the ff is, & always will be, reed/sue/jonny & jennifer.. & ben's wandering
around in his own solo book & when he does appear in the ff it's the
greatest 'guest star' shot ever!

Kind of agree Brian, though mine ends quite markedly, with nightcrawler
& kitty pryde leaving the x-men & it becoming a solo wolverine title...

The golden age for me was around 1967 - 1983. To this day, that era is mostly what I'm interested in reading (with the exception of anything EC or anything by Lee / Kirby / Ditko prior to that.) I have a fair amount of comics from before 1967 and some after, but the vast majority of stuff I still read is in that sweet spot.

My golden age was about 1978 to 1984. It was the Warlord, Titans, X-men, FF. I hated Jack Kirby's work untill I read the Silver Surfer Saga. Then I got it. But John Byrnes stuff I loved right away.

The real Golden Age would belong to the Pioneers..Lee, Kane, Kirby etc.
I would say for me personally it was the 80's. Just because it was the
formation of a lot of things and it expanded upon ideas that the early
pioneers began. Some good and some bad of course.
What made a lot of things special is that there were books for
everyone...all across the board. Super-Heroes, horrors. martial arts,
romance, comedy etc.
Not to mention the reprints like the pocket size Superman books and the
Marvel Tales stories.
It was having access to everything. Forms such as graphic novles and
limited series were good when not done in a agressive style as the second
Secret Wars.
I guess it was special because there was nothng (yet) that catered to
gimmicks for gimmicks sake in regards to how foil covers and such were
presented in the 90's. It was more about how compelling one could be
with story and art.

Same as Joe Zhang. I was truly a dedicated Marvel fan. So much cool stuff going on then, it was almost too much to believe.
