> In the early 60's Marvel Comics (no relation to the Golden Age Captain Marvel who was first owned by Fawsett Comics, but DC sued for rigths since he was so much like Superman) published Fantastic Four #1 wich started the Silver Age.

That's very close to the time the Silver Age started, but it really started with either issue 255 of Detective Comics or issue 4 of Showcase, both put out by DC Comics. Detective #225 (November '55) was the first appearance of the Martian Manhunter and is considered the first Silver Age hero. Showcase #4 (September '56) was the first appearance of the Silver Age Flash. Fantastic Four #1 appeared in 1961. Although not the first Silver Age comic book, FF was the first comic book series where the protagonists were multi-facted. There were arguements and disagreements. But that's a post for another time.
