About the series
From 2015 to 2016, Archie Comics' Dark Circle imprint rebooted The Black Hood as a gritty, 11-issue crime series. Written by Duane Swierczynski, the story follows a Philadelphia police officer whose life unravels after a shooting, forcing him to don a mask that becomes more curse than costume. Artists Michael Gaydos, Greg Scott, and Howard Chaykin brought a raw, noir visual style to this grounded, adult take on a classic hero, marking a bold departure for the publisher.
