Archie Comics has had a distinguished history of super hero comics for over 70 years, and in honor of the major, NY Times-announced re-launch of our super heroes under the Red Circle imprint, we've gone into the vault to collect some of our best classic stories in one action-packed book! These stories are creatively intertwined with new stories that help guide new readers and diehard fans alike through the history of one of the most longstanding universes in comics.

A SUPERHERO LEGACY IS BORN! In one of history's greatest battles against the forces of evil, The Mighty Crusaders did the impossible: they won. Now, for the first time ever, witness their heroic battle for the fate of the world like never before in this unique graphic novel collection from Red Circle Comics!

Using an innovative blend of NEW and CLASSIC material, New Crusaders: Legacy takes readers on a tour of the Red Circle universe, guided by the characters themselves! Picking up directly following the events of New Crusaders: Rise of the Heroes, our new team of young heroes struggles under the tutelage of the world's first patriotic super hero: the Shield. The Shield teaches these New Crusaders about the early history of their parents, the Mighty Crusaders, seen by the reader in the form of some of the best classic tales from the 1980s Red Circle superhero titles.

Features legendary comic talent including Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, Carmine Infantino, Gray Morrow and Robert Kanigher, plus new material by Ian Flynn and Jerry Gaylord.

About the author

Robert Kanigher

Robert Kanigher has long been recognized as one of the most prolific and innovative writers and editors in the comic book industry. Since the 1940s, Kanigher wrote and/or created more characters than nearly anybody else in the field, including Batman, Blue Beetle, Steel Sterling, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, the Flash, Sgt. Rock, the Haunted Tank, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, and innumerable war, horror, and romance scripts. Kanigher scripted the Silver Age Flash’s origin story in SHOWCASE #4 and contributed several more tales to his subsequent SHOWCASE appearances before finally returning to the character for an extended run as regular writer on THE FLASH in 1970.
