Posted on April 4, 2006 by Bill Jourdain

In this episode we discuss one of the great MLJ superheroes, The Shield!  The Shield got his start in the pages of Pep Comics #1 (January, 1940), and was one of MLJ’s most enduring characters until they shifted focus to their most popular character, Archie Andrews.  The Shield also appeared in the pages of Shield-Wizard Comics.  He appeared in the Golden Age until Archie completely took over Pep Comics in 1947.  He last appeared in Pep Comics #65.
