About the series
Archie’s Shield-Wizard Comics ran for 13 issues from 1940 to 1944, pairing two of the publisher’s earliest patriotic heroes in a single title. The Shield (Roy Carter) and the Wizard (Blane Whitney) headlined their own adventures alongside features like Joe Higgins and Roy the Super-Boy, with regular creative contributions from Harry Shorten, Irv Novick, Bill Vigoda, and Eddie Robbins. This series stands as a snapshot of wartime comics, showcasing Archie’s bid for superhero popularity before humor titles became its hallmark.
