I love these guy...Thanks for the good Archie story. I love these guys, this was the era when they were not obnoxious as the ridiculous campier style of the mid 60s. Black Hood was the first or one of the first to wear the colors and costume that makes him look like the original Atom. He had it years before they put the Atom in that kind of costume. I note here that they colored his briefs red maybe to distinguish him from the others of that ilk. In the Golden age there were about 10 heroes who had that same costume, including DC's Sandman, and oddly enough the DC Tarantula, (it's totally un-spider-like) Holy Oak's The Hood.
