I was going to ask a lot of questions, like what are some details of each of the heroes, and what is the unique angle that will set this apart from, say, the JSA or JLA or The Invaders… but then I guess that's why you need a writer.

Are you an artist? Let's see some pics of your characters. And why are two of them using the adjective "hooded?" Didn't Hooded Skull and Hooded Axis coordinate with each other before picking names?

And why not just pair with a writer that already has a script, instead of sticking with this particular idea? Just wondering… I wouldn't mind spitballing some creative ideas with you, here, but having to sit and write out a whole long thing sounds a bit unrewarding…

The unique angle that will set them apart from the JSA,the JLA,And the invaders is they are a team of well-established heroes.
Yes,I am an artist,and I Would like to send you Pictures of my characters through regular mail.
Thanks for asking.

When you say "regular mail", do you mean email, or physical, United States Postal Service mail, because that would be weird.

If you mean email, I'd like to see a few of the drawings. You can send them to me at frequentcontributor@yahoo.com. I would probably write you a short story to draw and toss up on the web, or something, but I'm not sure how interested I'd be in delving into a whole original graphic novel.

Also, JLA (more so than the other two…) is very much comprised of "well-established" heroes. You know, like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. And Invaders has Captain America, so… I guess I'm not sure how you intended "well-established" to be read…

I'm still not sure I see any uniqueness in this idea.  I must not be following the idea of 'well established' because as FC points out, the groups you mentioned were all made up of well established characters.  So how is this group different?  Heck, even the origin premise sounds pretty much like old school JLA.

This group is comprised
of original golden age
characters.
Also,I agree with what
you said.

I don't know what's going on with this topic. I didn't start it, but the "original" one seems to have disappeared and been replaced with this one? I don't know…

A funny idea is if the "golden age heroes" were all German heroes or Nazi sympathizers (from any country…) who all hated Jews. That's certainly unlike the JLA… (And when I say "funny", I mean dark and twisted, not laugh out loud hilarious…)

Well, I'm bored and it's midnight, so here is page one of a story that you can start drawing right now. I'll write another page the next time I come here.

Page 1 (6 panels):

Panel 1: A close-up on a man sleeping peacefully. He's old and pale, but serene.

Caption: I've done a lot of bad things in my life.

Panel 2: Same view, pulled out a bit more, we see that the old man is naked, his body slightly contorted and on top of and covered by other random limbs.

Caption: I've lied, cheated, and stole nearly every day of my rotten life.

Panel 3: Same view, but farther out still, we see that the man is a corpse in a pit of bodies; a mass grave. They're all dead. There are lots of bodies at this distance - 10 or 20 visible. Some are emaciated bags of bones, and some are only skeletons. Not all nude - some with torn rags or blankets over them, but no shoes or nice things (the Nazis would have stolen them…).

Caption: I've forced myself on girls and I've killed for pocket change…

Panel 4: Closer in to the same scene, but on a particularly mummified-looking corpse near the first old man. His eyes are closed, too.

Caption: But this… this is something else, entirely.

Panel 5: Still closer, we can see that the corpse if particularly famine-ravaged.

Caption: I may be rotten, but this is just… pure evil.

Panel 6: Close up of the new skeletal corpse's face, mimicking the first panel of the old man (in terms of how close up we view the scene…), but his eyes are now open, and they should be very scary-looking. (I'll let you decide what "scary eyes" look like…).

Caption: This is what Hitler wrought.

-So anyway, that's the first page of the origin of Hooded Skull. There wasn't much to go on, so I've made him a Jew whose superpowers kick in after he's "killed" and left in a mass grave outside of a concentration camp. Over the next few pages, he'll get on some rags, and he'll look like a Grim Reaper for a bit while he wreaks some havoc on some SS guys. Then he'll steal their uniforms and have a badass black leather "superhero" outfit. I guess I figure that his face is half human and half skull, like he's got skin, but he looks like a mummy without the wrappings - a real ugly dude, and basically his power is that he can't be killed, no matter how much crazy stuff happens to him. By the end of the whole story, he'll be a head in a jar…
