Two years ago (has it really been two years?!) in honor of March Madness here in the States, I did a Top Superhero Team Tournament (which the Avengers won easily). This year, with March Madness back, though I’m getting a late start, I decided to do a tournament to decide the top decade between the Big Two, i.e. Marvel and DC.
The first round matchups are just Marvel vs. DC for each decade of the 1940’s through the 2010’s. I’m not quite sure yet how to determine the matchups for the subsequent rounds, though it’s my goal to have the two “best” decades not meet until the finals.
I'll leave each round's polls open for about a week.
This one closes March 11, 6 AM EST.
So which company's output do you like better - 50's Marvel or 50's DC?

Another easy one for DC.

DC again. The expansion of the Superman titles. New Flash and Green Lantern. Good Science Fiction stories. Challengers. Etc.

This is significantly closer because I really don't care for the output of either in the 50s. DC because of a few books like Sugar & Spike.

Lot of love for Marvel monster books, but DC gets it for starting the Silver Age with Showcase #4.

DC was hitting the bullseye at this time. While I adore the western and monster stuff Stan and gang were doing, DC was just stronger.

DC in the 50s for sure.

Another for DC, as Atlas was churning out whatever was popular, with few really big hits with staying power. However, if you went overall, then I'd say EC or Dell/Western. Archie and Harvey stayed strong then.

The more I see 50s Atlas work by Maneely, Severin, Heath, the more I like it, but the stories don;t measure up. So, DC.
But, before the Code came in, there was a lot of interesting stuff going on that wasn't DC or Atlas.

I really don't have much of an idea what either company was doing in the 50s so I can't vote.
