Changes

What came out in in December, 1940 was the first issue of ''Captain America'', whose shield-bearing character made no bones about which side he was on, leaping into the scene to strike Hitler in the face.  This first issue sold over a million copies, with many more to come.  The one major change which had to take place within the first few issues was the design of the shield.  Originally triangular, they discovered that it bore too close an appearance to an earlier character from a rival magazine<ref>http://www.comics.org/issue/609/cover/4/</ref>, so the shape became round.  This proved beneficial to the creators, who now felt that Captain America had a new weapon, one which could be flung at an enemy to great effect, and return like a boomerang.
