We have been watching the CW show: Star Girl - which is set on Earth-2 and references the heroes and villains of the Golden Age of DC.  The show does a good job of using the Golden Age villains and heroes without being too hokey or corny.

While watching the show, I was reminded on how I got to know the Golden Age characters as a comic reader.  It was back in the early 90s, DC has a JSA comic series and I was enjoying it.  Getting to become familiar with the Golden Age version of Green Lantern and Flash while learning about new characters like Hour Man, Wild Cat, Starman and others.  Remember, we had no internet back then so I only had back issue and new comics to give me backstory.

In 1993, a relatively unknown writer, James Robinson pitched an Elseworlds story (The What If? equivalent for DC) about most of the JSA heroes called The Golden Age.   It would feature art by the awesome Paul Smith and had colors by Richard Ory.  DC would publish it as a 4 part prestige series between 1993 - 1994.
