End of the Golden Age
I know that Marvel Comics #1 (1939), the first appearance of Sub-Mariner, is considered the beginning of the Golden Age of Marvel Comics, and that Fantastic Four #1 (1961) is considered the beginning of the Silver Age of Marvel Comics. Would anyone know the years and/or issues that are generally considered the end of the Golden and Silver Ages?
Re: End of the Golden Age
End of the GA is when superheroes died right back around the end of WW2.
End of the SA is debatable - when Marvel got a better distribution deal and launched a shedload of new titles, when Kirby left Marvel, ASM 121-122 and the start of 1970 have all been quoted.

Re: End of the Golden Age
My end point for Marvel's Silver Age is October 1971, the month before the price rise from 15 cents to 20 cents (via a brief jump to 25 cents). The price rise coincided with the tenth anniversary of the Fantastic Four and the major change in the design of the cover layout.
