Five year? The Bronze Age is generally thought to run from 1973-1986. Are you talking about another Bronze period I am not familiar with?

I think he's refering to the so-called Copper Age (1980-1985). Don't ask me where that came from.

Depending on who you talk to, the Bronze Age started in 1971 (Jack Kirby leaving Marvel) or 1973 (Gwen Stacy's death)... although 90's fans tend to call anything prior to the Crisis "Silver Age" (And some fans think the Dark Age or Modern Age never ended)

Wizard had the Bronze Age going back further with the "horror" comic revival seen in the 1960s with books like Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery (1963) being the supposed start. Another age is the Platinum Age (1842-1938)

As for the current age I prefer to follow the concept of the Statue of Nebuchadnezzar modifying the Greek inspired Gold, Silver, and Bronze Ages.

Following Bronze was the Iron Age with its grittier stories and characters. We are currently in the Iron-Clay age which like the Iron Age has grittier stories and characters but the nature of the characters and world seems to change at the drop of the hat.
