OK, so the 'Silver Age' has become a little blurry - but now you can see where it came from, and what some of Marvel's creative talent went on to achieve later! Featured Cover Hulk # 3 Sept 1962 Reviews and articles: The Four Phases of Silver Age Marvel continues, as we jump out of sequence to take a look at the beginning, middle and end of Part IV: The Twilight Years (like, that's 24 issues in total)!
