Speaking of which, I heard that the reason Captain America's shield became circular is because Archie Comics complained to Marvel Comics that the design looked too similar to Archie's character called the Shield, implying that Joe Simon and Jack Kirby stole the design and slightly modified it. Not sure how true that is though.

Every time CBR News posts and provides a link, the link doesn't go to the article. How do you find the article?

I don't have a link, but I have heard that as well. By issue 2, they'd changed the shape of it. Originally Posted by Electricmastro

This thread is several years old now, so I'm not surprised by the link rot, in this case probably due to a change to their content management system. I did a search and located the original 2015 article. Originally Posted by Tami
