User blog comment:Nausiated/The Golden Age of Comics? It wasn't that golden../@comment-122657-20110407043807

I respect the Golden Age for starting things up, but have a hard time taking any of the content seriously. There's just altogether too many romance, comedy, and western books for me to embrace.

I've also never had the ability to enjoy a book older than 1980. The style is so different than the current story telling that it's very difficult to read 50 consecutive thought balloons explaining every little detail of what the character is going through. I suppose the art wasn't good enough to tell the story as well back then, even with the epic artists who started it all...

I am content with looking at the covers and moving on.
