Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Silver Age of Comic Books was known for goofy, lighthearted and rather fantastic plots, Black and White Morality, and a general absence of mature themes. Multicolored Kryptonite, dog sidekicks, Everything's Better with Monkeys and New Powers as the Plot Demands were all characteristic tropes. And then...well, The Sixties happened. And The Seventies. Comics were swept up in the same post-Vietnam post-Watergate disillusionment as the rest of the USA. The Comics Code gradually loosened, letting morally ambiguous stories appear more often. Character conflict as a plot device became the rule, and horror comics reappeared on the shelves. Some comics dispensed with the stamp of the Code altogether. |
