During the superhero revival of the 1960s, Archie Comics published an eight-issue series, "The Shadow" (Aug. 1964 – Sept. 1965), under the company's Mighty Comics imprint. In the first issue, The Shadow was loosely based on the radio version, but with blond hair. In issue #2 (Sept. 1964), the character was transformed into a campy, heavily muscled superhero in a green and blue costume by writer Robert Bernstein and artist John Rosenberger. Later issues of this eight-issue series were written by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel. The change was not well received. "Totally at odds with everything that personified the classic Shadow," "American Comic Book Chronicles" says, "Archie's incarnation is still regarded in many quarters as one of the greatest comic book misfires of the 1960s."
