Best Decade Ever poll - an update

[andrewducker]

A fascinating set of responses yesterday - as exected the computer games clustered towards modern day, while novels were spread all over the place (except for the 1930s, clearly a bad decade for authors).

I did like the observations from two people here and here that the current decade is the best ever if you're a media consumer, as not only are more works being produced but that we have access to a bigger library of previous works than anyone has ever had before, thanks to the digitisation of content.

I also managed to leave a media-type off the list, for which my apologies. Have it now:

I'm choosing 1950s because you use the term "started." I'm a Silver Age guy and that really most heavily happened in the 60s, but all the great stuff that happened in the 60s were kicked off in the mid to late 50s when suddenly publishers couldn't crank out gore to sell and had to step back to rely on storytelling.

The "started" is attached to "The best decade", as in "The best decade (for modern comics) started in 1900".

It's the same structure as all of the questions yesterday...

It does raise an interesting point though - unlike many of the other media listed, successful comic series seem to last throughout several decades, making it more complicated where to pick for them.

True. I picked the 90a for Vertigo, Sandman (most of), Transmetropolitan, the Invisibles, etc. but all if those crossed decade boundaries.
