When people ask me why I dedicated my site Steve Does Comics to Bronze Age comics and not to the more celebrated Silver or Golden Ages, I say the answer's simple. It's because, for me, the Bronze Age was the Golden Age of comics.Admittedly, this may have something to do with my own vintage. I grew up in that self-same Bronze Age. However, thanks to Marvel UK's weekly reprints, I also grew up reading Silver Age mags and, thanks to DC's 100 page comics, Golden Age tales were always to hand.It's true the Golden Age may have seen the peak of comic sales, with titles like Captain Marvel selling over a million copies a month, and super-heroes like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman hitting the shelves for the first time.The Silver Age may have been the form's renaissance, with the Marvel Age giving us the likes of Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk and the Fantastic Four, as Stan Lee and Jack Kirby reinvented the form.But, for me the true Golden Age of the American Comic Book fell between 1968 and 1978. Now, some may argue with those as the dates for the Bronze Age and I can understand that. It's always been a tricky time to tie down but I've...more

If you are wondering what kind of cheese the French have been eating since before you were born, Brie De Meaux is the closest you will to the real thing. Its light pungent taste that is a mix of intensely mushroomy and grassy notes has captured the hearts of everyone since the Middle Ages.In the 19th century, Brie De Meaux was considered as the cheese of the kings, as it was often preferred by Diplomats because it tastes rich and luxurious in the mouth, but not cloyingly buttery. It was said to have helped make world peace - in one of the many heated Vienna proceedings, the Frenchman Talleyrand proposed a friendly competition (to lighten the tension between parties) to find out which country had the world's best cheese.An English Lord argued that the English Stilton was the best, while a Swiss gentleman peddled for Switzerland's Emmenthal. Talleyrand remained reserved until one man arrived with his nominee, the Brie De Meaux. One historian recorded it to have rendered its cream to the knife; it was a feast, and no one dared argue from then on.But before that incident in the Congress of Vienna, this cheese had already marked its place in history. The emperor Charlemagne is...more
