I've always considered it to be like a more accessible version of Watchmen. Definitely worth checking out for those who haven't.

I remember that series, though Never read it. Paul Smith art is always excellent.

Yeah, Paul Smith is definitely one of those "artists' artist" types who sometimes seems overlooked by fans but is highly regarded by other artists. He and Robinson continued their collaboration a few years after doing Golden Age with another series I remember fondly, Leave it to Chance:
It was a series about a young paranormal investigator named Chance Falconer. Sort of a "Nancy Drew, but with magic" vibe to it. I always thought it should've run longer than the 2 or 3 years that it did, especially considering it debuted around the same time as the Harry Potter books which were spurring an increased interest in young adult fantasy at the time.
