In class we discussed some things that makes the silver age, the silver age. For example, since there was a censorship put on comics a lot of writers moved towards 'family' ideas and more family centered values. Some comic charaters were more in touch with their feelings. Especially in Spiderman readers witness a hero that they can actually relate to like Peter Parker and his life problems. Superheros start to have troubles with relationships and financials which make them more realistic. Before, comics in the Golden Age where classic comic heros were treated as escape situations for the artist therefore they are portrayed as being super or un-human. We don't see Superman talking about his financial troubles or whatever.
This matters to prove my opinion that Silver Age comics are better than the golden age. I think Golden Age comics have to be respected since they are considered classics yet comics have evolved over time and the silver age is when we see the next big transition made by writers and artists.
