it's not about trying to "destroy the Silver Age," it's about making people realize that 1) the Silver Age is over and cannot be recreated and 2) that the Silver Age was not the nostalgic "gumdrops and rainbows" that people want to remember it as.
when was the last time you actually read those books, as opposed to just looking back over them with rose colored glasses?
I have a bunch of DC archive books here. I really do prefer them to what is out now.
I know that this is NOT about destroying the books physically,but that it is about making what happened in them null and void.
That is what I meant: What happened in them, happened.. and they cannot be erased from continuity, to the chagrin of many writers.
and by that, I mean that the books can be ignored, they can be said to NOT count..
But they do count.. just as, to many reading comics now who are kids, when this present comic continuity is made obsolete in another 15 years or so, those books will count to that generation of readers, as well.
