Bronze Age in Galileo

Searching for articles related to the Bronze Age of comics in Galileo can be a bit tricky.

Going to the 'search' page within Galileo, select bronze age and comic book* as your search terms. Remember that the * allows you to search for both comic and comics.

What databases to search? First, your defaults are Academic Search Complete and Research Library. Also, click on the 'show more databases' link to display more databases to search. From this list select Newspaper Source and Proquest Newspapers.

The search results gives you one article each from three of the respective databases. None of the articles are hugely helpful, the closest being an interview with an artist on the difference between drawing comic characters and characters from the bronze age of antiquity.

The suggestion here is to search for articles related to comic events of the bronze age, using the same databases. A search for Crisis Infinite Earths leads to several articles related to the Crisis on Infinite Earths miniseries. A search for Marvel comics and Secret Wars leads to an article relating to the creation of the 'black' costume Spider Man found during and after the Secret Wars.
