So what makes 229 the first Silver Age issue?


I'm not sure if this is an honest question or if it's a bit of poking

I'm using Overstreet's definition (October 1956 - the month that DC released Showcase #4 and The Flash).

Personally, I don't get too hung up in the semantics. I prefer to talk about pre-code and post-code because it is something we can all agree on.

Honest question. I wasn't sure if it was chronological or because of how a story or character was written.

Some Marvel collectors equate Silver Age Marvel with the appearance of superheroes in a book. Tales to Astonish #25 came out the same month as Fantastic Four #1 but TTA doesn't necessarily register on the radar until the first Ant-Man in issue 27.

DC seems to be a different kettle of fish as its major heroes never left publication in the late 40s the way Marvel's first did.
