CROSSOVER MADNESS

Most comics-fans are aware that MLJ (aka "Archie") Comics had a line of superheroes in the forties, and that after all of these features were cancelled during the Golden Age, MLJ didn't revive those characters for another superhero-line until the mid 1960s, with the ill-fated "Mighty Comics" imprint. 

However, during the early sixties MLJ experimented with sprinkling occasional new stories of their super-characters into their teen comedy features-- mostly, from what I've seen, the Shield and the Black Hood. If there's an annotation of these toss-off stories, I'm not aware of it. 

The Fly was not a Golden Age character, having been created for MLJ by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1959. This story, "The Fly and The Black Hood Join Forces," is from ADVENTURES OF THE FLY #7 (1960), and for all I know may be the first time the Black Hood was revived during the Silver Age. If the writer in 1960 had any thoughts of reviving the Black Hood during that period, those hopes died stillborn.
