Radcliffe Stiles

Radcliffe Stiles stepped onto the page in 1991, born from the creative partnership of Mark Waid and Grant Miehm in The Legend of the Shield #1 — part of DC's ambitious Impact! imprint that brought a fresh Copper/Modern Age sensibility to superhero storytelling. With only a handful of appearances across The Legend of the Shield and Who's Who in the !mpact! Universe, Stiles is a compact but intriguing figure in that short-lived yet fondly remembered corner of the DC universe, sharing adventures alongside The Shield, Karen Thomas, and Crawford Winfield. For collectors with a soft spot for the Impact! era's bold experiment in reinvention, tracking down Radcliffe Stiles is a rewarding little treasure hunt.
