The Golden Age is generally thought as lasting from the
introduction of Superman in 1938 until the early
1950s.
The period saw the arrival of the comic book as a mainstream art
form . During this time, comic books enjoyed considerable
popularity; the archetype of the superhero was invented and
defined, and many of the most popular superheroes were created.
Superman, the first comic book superhero, was so popular that
superheroes soon dominated the pages of comic books, which
characterized the Golden Age All-American Comics introduced such
popular superheroes as Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, The
Flash, Green Lantern, the Atom, Hawkman, and Aquaman, while
Timely Comics, the 1940s predecessor of Marvel Comics, had
million-selling titles that featured the Human Torch, the
Sub-Mariner, and Captain America. Although the creation of the
superhero was the Golden Age's most significant contribution to
pop culture, many other genres of comic book appeared on the
newsstands side-by-side with Superman and Captain America. The
Golden Age included many funny animal, western, romance, and
jungle comics. The debut of a new Flash, would indicate the end of the
Golden Age
