Foreword by Robert M. Overstreet
Reprints Pep Comics #1-5 and Shield-Wizard Comics #1
(three stories). Born into the comics in 1940, the Shield
was a patriot preserving truth, justice and the American
way before the war broke out and the rest of comicdom got
on the band wagon. The super patriot worked for Hoover and
the FBI, foiling plots by dreadful dictators and ruthless
(and fictional) foreign governments. He even defended
Pearl Harbor from enemy attack, more than a year before it
actually happened!
Eight Golden Age classics, with their original covers
reprinted as well. |

Journey back to the Silver Age of Comics-- a period that
re-defined and shaped the course of super-hero comic books
for years to come! Archie Comics contributed to the
renaissance, too! Hiring Joe Simon and Jack Kirby to
revamp their Golden Age Shield character (which they
re-named Private Strong) and to create new characters like
The Fly. Now you can relive those heady days as some of
the wildest heroes in the history of comic books unite to
form one of the most beloved super-teams of the Sixties:
The Shield! The Black Hood! The Comet! The Fly! Fly Girl!
unite to become the Mighty Crusaders. |
