Stargirl: The Lost Children-Newsboy Legion

 As I said in the previous post I would give my readers overviews of the various children mentioned in the preview for the Stargirl title.  The first of those is the Newsboy Legion.


The Newsboy Legion first appeared in STAR-SPANGLED COMICS #7, 1942.  The group created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were a bunch of Newsboys (a name given to Paperboys of the day) who went on adventures and were protected by their Guardian Jim Harper. Harper was secretly the superhero THE GUARDIAN.  Many who know the history of the history of DC will remember the many varations of this hero to include the Jimmy Olson Guardian from The CW show SUPERGIRL.
