The Mighty Crusaders #1
"Prologue" kicks off The Mighty Crusaders #1 (1983) with a bold, high-stakes setup: as the Brain Emperor's shadowy scheme unfolds, the 2nd Shield, the Fly, Fly Girl, and Jaguar are drawn together by General Ranse Smith. Meanwhile, the original Shield thwarts a jewel heist, and the Black Hood rides toward a mysterious rendezvous marked by the Comet. Written by Richard Buckler and illustrated by Buckler with inks by Frank Giacoia, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Victor Gorelick, the issue’s cover by Rich Buckler captures the era’s bold energy.
In the shadow of a looming threat, the Brain Emperor's scheme begins to unfold as the second Shield, the Fly, Fly Girl, and the Jaguar find their paths converging under the watchful eye of General Ranse Smith. Meanwhile, the original Shield thwarts a high-stakes jewel heist, and the Black Hood speeds toward a mysterious rendezvous marked by the Comet—each step bringing them closer to a destiny they can't yet see.
In "Atlantis Rising!" from The Mighty Crusaders #1 (1983), the heroes of the team converge for the first time, split by urgent missions: while the Web faces Eterno’s colossal Megaliths, the Jaguar, Fly, Fly Girl, and the second Shield rush to his aid, and the Comet, the first Shield, and the Black Hood track down eerie signals from the sky. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as ancient forces stir beneath the waves.
