About the series
A 1980s revival from Archie Comics, The Mighty Crusaders ran for 13 issues from 1983 to 1985, bringing together a team of classic superheroes like The Shield, Fly Girl, and the hero known as Joe Higgins. Written primarily by Rich Margopoulos, Cary Burkett, and Martin L. Greim, with art from Dick Ayers, Rich Buckler, and Adrian Gonzales, this series updated the publisher’s Golden and Silver Age characters for a new decade. It matters as a bold, short-lived attempt to re-establish Archie’s superhero universe during a time when the publisher was best known for its humor titles.
