The Hood

Born in the thick of the Golden Age, The Hood made their debut in Cat-Man Comics #7 in 1943, the creation of Charles Quinlan Sr., stepping onto the page during one of comics' most gloriously chaotic and inventive eras. What's remarkable is the sheer staying power here — a character with roots stretching back over eight decades, turning up as recently as 2024 under the AC banner, where they've found a particularly lively home in FemForce alongside a colorful cast that includes Ms. Victory and Page Connors. Sharing adventures with the likes of Green Lama and Jethro Dumont speaks to the rich, pulpy world The Hood inhabits, and appearances in Vampirella versus Red Sonja and Vampirella: The Dark Powers show a character still willing to rub shoulders with some of comics' most electrifying titles. For collectors who love Golden Age survivors that refuse to fade into obscurity, The Hood is a genuine find.
