While today\u2019s comic books are normally 6 5\/8 inches wide by 10 3\/16 inches high, these dimensions were not always standardized. Publishers have made comic books of varying sizes throughout history (learn more<\/a> from this article). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BCW’s comic book bags and boards can help preserve your comic books, but you should purchase bags and boards sized appropriately for your collection. BCW has simplified these historically different sizes into three distinct groups or ages to help you choose the bags and boards that will best fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Golden Age \u2013 circa 1938 to 1955<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Regular\/Silver Age \u2013 circa 1956 to 1969<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Current\/Modern Age \u2013 circa 1970 to present<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re not sure what size of bags and boards you need, please measure your comics and compare them with the sizes listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
