Item Description
The Shield was one of the most popular comic book heroes of the 1940s, fighting to protect the American way of life in a patriotic costume that made him invulnerable. In fact, The Shield was the first hero to wear such a costume, introduced in Pep Comics #1 in 1940, pre-dating Captain America by over a year. The Shield also appeared in Shield-Wizard Comics between 1940 and 1944 and the character's popularity gave rise to The Shield G-Man Club. Offered here is a complete four-piece kit that not only includes the rare mailing envelope w/MLJ Magazines Inc. return address but also the small plain inner envelope for the card. Both are Fine. 2x3.5" stiff membership card has typed member's name and actual ink-signed name of The Shield's alter ego (Joe Higgins) as issued. Trace of aging and faint impression at right where button lay against it. VF. Button is 1.25" dia. variety. Features classic image of The Shield bending steel beam. Glossy, NM. A must have for the Golden Age comic collector.
