I'd say start with what tone you're going for. List a few real golden age super hero comics that are your primary inspiration. Then describe what you want to do differently from those, and maybe add a few secondary inspirations.

Based on that, come up with the heroes of your fictional "All-Heroic Comics" next - trying to make them distinctive.

The most curious I can think of is Ken Hite's "Adventures into Darkness", which is a fictional golden age comic series written by H.P. Lovecraft. It's a very clever take on Golden Age comics in an alternate timeline.
