The Silver Age of Comic Books is usually considered to be the period between 1955 and 1970, succeeded by the Bronze and and preceded by the Golden Age of Comic Books.
The Silver Age began with the introduction of the modern version of the Flash in DC Comics' Showcase #4. Until this point, only Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were published under their own titles.
DC Comics sparked the superhero's revival with its publications from 1955 to 1960, and Marvel Comics then capitalized on the revived interest in superhero storytelling with sophisticated stories and characterization.
Some of the most important writers and artists that contributed to the genre during this period include Stan Lee, Gardner Fox, John Broome, and Robert Kanigher, and artists Curt Swan, Jack Kirby, Gil Kane, Steve Ditko, Mike Sekowsky, Carmine Infantino, John Buscema, and John Romita, Sr.
