With issue #1 of the revival of Archie’s Golden Age hero, The Fox, Mark Waid and Dean Haspiel managed the complex task of impressing both Stephen and myself, reminding me of the good old Silver Age days where a superhero could be about a little bit of wacky fun, without the dark and the gritty and the glayven.

For those of us who lived through the comics boom of the 1990s, it can seem like those years were nothing more than an endless parade of stupid, sexist and ill-advised characters powered by little more than speed lines and avarice. In truth, there are a great many gems to be had in those years, even in the ranks of the much-maligned ranks of the X-titles.

That part probably sounds familiar, but when I mention that this was all the way back in 1978, you’ll probably groan and start to mock the special effects. Wanna see why that’s a mistake?
