I am a 18 year old DC comics fan and I have been a fan since I was 17. But I am confused on what age range were DC comics and Marvel Comics originally and really directed to during the golden age and silver age. Some people say they were for kids and they just started making them for adults, some say they were originally for adults and were never for kids. Which fact is true and which are popular misconceptions. On the DC comics app the ratings on those original comicbooks are 12+, and I really don't get why.
