About the series
The Shield (2009–2010) from DC Comics reimagined the classic patriotic hero for a modern era over a ten-issue run. Written primarily by Eric S. Trautmann, with art by Marco Rudy, Cliff Richards, and Eduardo Pansica, the series explored the legacy of the shield-wielding guardian as a new, conflicted character took up the mantle. It stands as a thoughtful, action-driven update to a Golden Age icon, examining what it means to be a symbol in a complex world.
