03:55 pm [queenanthai] [Link]	The Glory Of Silver Age Filler Part 1 While the crack of the Silver Age stories is legendary, one of my favorite things about reading 30- to 40-year-old comics is the ads, the PSAs and the letter columns. It's like a little time warp, and you can actually get a hint of the culture and attitudes of those days. ( Here're three to start you off. ) Anyone else willing to share? I have more where this came from, of course. Tags: era: silver age, medium: advertisement, medium: letter columns, publisher: dc comics, title: action comics (16 comments \| Leave a comment)
