Last month's top Modern Age comics have one thing in common; they were nowhere five years ago. Now they are the most popular comics over the last 60 days or so. Some are usual suspects, like Amazing Spider-Man #361 and some...
The top three Bronze Age comics for last month are Venom focused with a little mean green machine thrown in. The Bronze Age lasted from 1970 through to the advent of the Secret Wars by Marvel in 1984. The Comics Code was toothless during this period...
