The golden age of comics ended in the mid-1950s due to the decrease in the popularity of comic books. The decrease in popularity had to do with the ending of World War II as well as comics being blamed for a rise in juvenile crimes. To address these public concerns, the Comics Code Authority was created. After the comic book industry saw an influx of horror and romance books, superheroes took their place at the forefront of the industry in 1956. The Showcase #4 comic, featuring the Flash, is regarded as the first comic in the silver age of comics that spanned from 1956-1970. Now you can own the 2023 2 oz Niue Silver COMIX Showcase Comics #4 Coin, available at JM Bullion.
