Golden's art style later inspired a number of later comics creators, including Arthur Adams.[3][4] Golden's work was also appropriated by Glenn Danzig as a logo for his bands Samhain and Danzig.[18] He is managed by Renée Witterstaetter (a former comics colorist, writer, and editor) of Eva Ink Publishing.[19]
In a 1997 interview with Wizard magazine, Golden explained that he had not attended a comics convention since 1979, because he is uncomfortable with the cult of personality treatment of comics creators.[17] By the 2000s, however, he had been known to make appearances at conventions.[20][21]
