Thank you boox! I really should set up a poll to get a better notion, but cross referencing various pages on Public Domain Wiki is the best way I know how to do it now...

Feeling pretty useless here.  I tried to post my list on F.U. and made a right hash of it.  Apart from that, I found it very difficult to read a lot of the stuff with all that dark print on a dark background.
Anyway, for what it's worth, here's this weeks list of my top 10 pd., ga. heroes:-
Black Terror (not because of D.E. but almost despite D.E.)
Black Hood; Black Cat; Plastic Man; The Hangman; Catman (although I think I prefer the Australian continuation); Phantom Lady; The Ray, 'cos it looked so good; The Hood; Blue Beetle.
Most of these will change depending on what I read over the next week or so.  A comparison with these lists against all time fave heroes, pd. or not would be interesting. How many replacements would there be? If anyone is curious, I'd have The Phantom at the top.

I am mega thrilled that someone else likes The Hood! For myself, The Hood is the best thing about Catman Comics!  ;D ;D ;D

Here's a link to a pic. of a legendary, old Spanish hero with another version of the Hood's mask.
Got to try to put up a pic of El Hombre de la Estrella, who also had the same type of mask.
