The Human Defense Corps are a comic book military organization published by DC Comics. They first appeared in Human Defense Corps #1 (July 2003), and were created by writer Ty Templeton and artist Clément Sauvé.
Human Defense Corps was a six-issue limited series published by DC Comics in 2003, written by Ty Templeton and drawn by Clément Sauvé.
The series did not sell well, and the concept was allowed to disappear until Superman and Justice League of America writer James Robinson began to feature the Corps in Superman vol. 3, starting with a passing mention of the events in the limited series in The Coming of Atlas (Superman #677, August 2008) and followed by the gradual introduction of Project 7734 from Superman: New Krypton Special (December 2008), Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen Special #1 (December 2008), and Action Comics 871 (January 2009) by Geoff Johns, building through the more recent issues of Superman and Action Comics and the associated Superman titles Supergirl and Jimmy Olsen Special #2 (October 2009).
DC Comics will be extending the Corps presence in the DC Universe in a 10-page Human Defense Corps feature in Adventure Comics vol. 2 from #8 (March 2010), which will directly link with the other stories featured in the title and is part of the lead up to DC Comics major War of the Supermen event for summer 2010.
