This is an excellent comic-book superhero RPG but is no longer published. It was written by English authors for Games Workshop in 1984, but when GW picked up the license for DC Heroes, they dropped GH. Amazingly, for a game nearly 20 years old and out of print for most of that, GH still has a fan following on the 'net, with PBeMs etc.
It has a somewhat British comic-book look and feel to it - the covers were designed like a comic, and the names of the Interior Artists reads like a roll call of great British comic-book artists.
There were two modules as well and a GM screen. Some articles were printed in White Dwarf magazine at the time including scenarios and rules updates.
Golden Heroes allows you to build PCs very quickly without trapping you into mimicking comix characters you know already.
There is also an original Campaign Ratings system, which rates PCs at the end of each game, on Public Status, Detective Points and Personal Status.
