Il segreto della Silver Age [Comic Trivia]
Thomas Sr. (Captain Collector)Ultimo aggiornamento: 9 maggio 2019 ca. 2 min di lettura
Con il fumetto Showcase #4 del settembre 1956, che segna la prima apparizione del Flash “Silver Age”, comincia la misteriosa Silver Age dei supereroi. Almeno così viene oggi accettato da molti nella scena dei fumetti.
La Silver Age dei fumetti
Sarebbero però passati ancora circa 5 anni prima che Jack Kirby e Stan Lee, con la loro geniale mossa, mandassero i loro Fantastic Four nella folla degli universi dei supereroi. E questo cambiò tutto. Nulla fu più come prima. Anche questo primo numero dei F4 viene considerato da molti fan l’inizio della Silver Age, almeno per quanto riguarda i Marvel Comics. Marvel’s First Family, come i quattro vengono affettuosamente chiamati, scosse enormemente la scena dei fumetti.
Ma fino a quel momento, dal concorrente DC Comics, veterani dei supereroi ben noti e collaudati come Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman e altri personaggi dei fumetti degli anni 1940 rianimati e ridefiniti si affollavano in colori vivaci nelle edicole. Da non dimenticare: all’epoca i comic shop non esistevano ancora (e per molto tempo!). E il più veloce fra loro era ed è il Flash!
Quando è stata la Silver Age?
E quanto è durata la Silver Age? Molto semplice: intorno al 1970 era finita. Se quindi si tiene a mente come regola pratica che la Silver Age indica gli anni 1960, non si sbaglia. Il resto sta nei dettagli. Tutta questa suddivisione in epoche diverse avviene comunque sempre a posteriori, per avere una panoramica migliore. All’epoca nessuno parlava di collezionare fumetti della Silver Age.
Il termine risale a una lettera di un lettore in un fumetto del 1966, in cui l’interessato si diceva entusiasta della nuova rinascita dei fumetti di supereroi e parlava delle “Silver Sixties”. La prima ondata di successo dei supereroi degli anni 1940, la Golden Age, era ormai finita. Dopo l’oro doveva dunque seguire l’“argento”. In brevissimo tempo il termine è diventato “Silver Age”. Il resto è storia.
Sapevate che DC sta per Detective Comics? È soltanto un’abbreviazione, ma è presto diventata sinonimo della casa editrice National Periodicals, dove uscivano Superman e Batman.
