| Notes |
This issue makes references to Mighty Crusaders #1 (Red Circle, 1983) where the Shield's stopping a jewel heist is first shown. Hangman, Firefly, Steel Sterling, Captain Flag and the Fox are all shown to be members of the Crusaders. John Raymond -- the original Web-- appears to be the father of the current Web. This appears to be a pieced-together story. Lots of background on the Shield, especially Bill Higgins (Joe's son and the 1960s Shield). |
