Re: Mod hat
Oh, honestly, don't be hatin'. The Silver Age was far from the happy comics wonderland that some writers seem to think it was, 'tis true, but it also came up with a good deal of memorable characters, interesting set-ups, and humorous nonsense, not to mention defining a good deal of the backstory of the DCU up 'til the present day. I'm not saying it was perfect, but without it we wouldn't have Zatanna, Batgirl, the Green Lantern Corps, Swamp Thing, the Floronic Man, Poison Ivy, the JLA, the Riddler, the Legion of Superheroes, Dial H for Hero, Adam Strange, the Planet Thanagar, Supergirl, etc., etc. The storytelling may not have always been up to modern standards, but without the Silver Age, a lot of what we think of when we think of comics would simply not be there. (Although, to tell the truth, I generally prefer the Golden Age, but that's another story.)
