Bronze Age comics

Bronze Age comics, 1970 to 1984: darker stories, Conan and the horror revival, the new X-Men, and the first Canadian price variants. Stories got darker and more grounded: Green Lantern and Green Arrow took on real-world issues, Conan and the horror titles arrived, and Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975 launched the new X-Men team that would carry Marvel through the decade. Cover prices climbed from 15¢ to 60¢, and from the early 1980s many books sold in Canada carried a separate Canadian cover price, the Canadian price variants collectors look for today. Our Bronze Age stock is mostly Marvel, led by Uncanny X-Men and Fantastic Four, with plenty of Marvel Premiere and Marvel Spotlight try-out issues where characters first appeared, and DC titles such as The New Teen Titans. Newsstand copies and Canadian price variants are marked on each listing. Every comic is photographed as it is, so you can see the exact copy you'll receive. Filter by publisher or price to narrow the list, or sort by newest to see what has just been listed.

Bronze Age comics: common questions

When was the Bronze Age of comics?

The Bronze Age of comics runs from about 1970 to the mid-1980s. Stories got darker and more grounded, and cover prices rose from 15¢ to 60¢. Our era pages use 1970–1984. The ages of comics guide explains how to date a comic from its cover.

What are Canadian price variants from the Bronze Age?

From late 1982, many Marvel and DC newsstand copies sold in Canada were printed with a separate, higher Canadian cover price. These Canadian price variants are scarcer than the regular copies. The CPV guide shows how to spot one.
