Curt Swan only drew the cover, but I love cover stories.

Did James Robinson fit this fuckonaut in his Starman legacy too?

I worked. Now I'm comfy.

I have a question, what has silver age that makes it so special? What are their main differences with the golden age?

I can read the Wiki entry, I know, but I need specifically the /co/ opinion on the subject.

Tell me anon, tell me about the Silver Age.

Well, the 50's Silver Age stories were just delightfully nutty, working under their own logic. The 60's, however, completely revolutionised the medium, thanks to Smiling Stan's shownmanship and Kirby/Ditko/etc. just doing the stories they always wanted to do.
