Golden Lad

Mort Meskin, often paired with writer Joseph Greene, brought a gritty, energetic style to this short-lived 1940s superhero series from Spark Publications. Running just five issues, Golden Lad followed a costumed hero whose adventures exemplified the post-war shift in comic book storytelling. Though brief, the series is notable for showcasing Meskin’s dynamic art, which later influenced generations of comic artists.
