Comics have been published for over a century, and collectors tend to categorize them into five ‘Ages’: Platinum (1897-1937), Golden (1938-55), Silver (1956-69), Bronze (1970-79) and Modern (1980-present). Comics continued to evolve throughout, but some fundamentals remain the same: rarity, title/issue, and condition (there’s a specific grading scale) determine value. Popular titles include Spider-Man, Superman, X-Men, Batman, Green Lantern, and Incredible Hulk.
