The era also encompassed major changes in the distribution of and audience for comic books. At the same time, publishers began the era by scaling back on their superhero publications, canceling many of the weaker-selling titles, and experimenting with other genres such as horror and sword-and-sorcery.

The beginning of the Bronze Age coincided with the end of the careers of many of the veteran writers and artists of the time, or their promotion to management positions and retirement from regular writing or drawing, and their replacement with a younger generation of editors and creators, many of whom knew each other from their experiences in comic book fan conventions and publications. Schwartz set about toning down some of the more fanciful aspects of the Weisinger era, removing most Kryptonite from continuity and scaling back Superman's nigh-infinite-by then-powers, which was done by veteran Superman artist Curt Swan together with groundbreaking author Denny O'Neil. Also in 1970 Mort Weisinger, the long-term editor of the various Superman titles, retired to be replaced by Julius Schwartz.

The series, written by Denny O'Neil and penciled by Neal Adams (inking was by Adams or Dick Giordano), focused on "relevance" as Green Lantern was exposed to poverty and experienced self-doubt. One such event was the April 1970 issue of Green Lantern, which added Green Arrow as a title character. Instead, a number of events at the beginning of the 1970s, taken together, can be seen as a shift away from the tone of comics in the previous decade. There is no one single event that can be said to herald the beginning of the Bronze Age. Ground-breaking writer Denny O'Neil discussed topics previously avoided in comics, such as drug abuse and urban poverty. ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
