Synopsis

Paul Lincoln recalls how the return of the mystery men included many heroes taking on apprentices, the proliferation of super-villains, Green Arrow and The Atom joining the JLA, new kinds of heroes like the Metal Men and the Doom Patrol, the teaming of the kid sidekicks as the Teen Titans, and the return from retirement of the JSA. But for him the death of the Doom Patrol marked the end of the Silver Age and the beginning of a darker time.
