About the series
Published by Archie Comics from 1943 to 1946, Black Hood Comics ran for eleven issues, introducing the masked vigilante Matthew "Kip" Burland. The series, written primarily by Bill Woolfolk, Gerald Kean, and H. H. Arnold, with art by Irv Novick, Clem Weisbecker, and Red Holmdale, stands as an early, pulpy superhero entry from a publisher better known for teen humor. Its significance lies in showcasing Archie's brief foray into costumed crime-fighting during the Golden Age.
