Set in the early 1940s, the Newsboy Legion is the first of Joe Simon and
Jack Kirby's very successful "kid gang" comics, featuring a group of scrappy
pre-teen boys who work together to stop crime in their home of Suicide Slum.
Watched over by adult hero The Guardian--a.k.a. policeman Jim Harper--The
Newsboy Legion battle crime through their own newspaper reporting, taking on con
artist, counterfeiters, arsonists, and more. Collects stories from
STAR-SPANGLED COMICS #23-37.
