Description
Ah, the Golden Age...or, you could call it the Gaudy Age. It's like nobody in comics had any color sense. Of course, they were limited by the printing budget.Related content

You're right about one thing, some of the heroes and villains back in the Golden Age had no fashion sense whatever, and the colors were as tacky and dingy as possibly can be.

They had such a limited range of colors to work with and they used the cheapest possible reproduction, it's a wonder they didn't look much worse. Marvel's colors always seemed a bit "muddy" to me, until some time in the early 70s.
Also, there's the theory that comics should be as colorful as possible, and the attempt to give your characters the most distinctive color scheme. After Superman and Captain Marvel, the other heroes were left with pot-luck.

That makes sense for comic creators to dabble with as many colors when it comes to come up with a lot of costume choices and schemes. at least with Marvel, almost all of their outfits are iconic as they are compared to DC.

Because I'm no good with rhymes and creating puzzles, and such, I always shied away from this kind of character. I don't know how anyone can sit down and write the Riddler's riddles and crap like that. My brain just won't do it. Might have created a guy like this, if I was looking to make life difficult for a writer, though.
