Black Super Heroes at DC Comics- Revised post

This is a revised re-post with artwork and additional info on each black hero.

Wikepdia's list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_superheroes#DC_Comics  lists every black hero that has ever appeared in DC comics.

It also lists separately the Milestone imprint which was primarily black superheroes  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_superheroes#Milestone_Media


The following is a list of Black superheroes at DC/Milestone who had or has their own titles Current title holders are in bold type.

I think that would not only keep Icon as a DC name, but to honor the Dwayne McDuffie who created Icon.

Well as you can see from the links listed above, DC and the Milestone imprint have tried to put a lot of new black heroes out there

Here is my list, after looking  at Wikipedia's list I want to present a revised list of favorite black heroes.

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.

STARGIRL RETURNS IN NEW MINI-SERIES JUST IN TIME FOR THE NEW TV SEASON

Stargirl Returns in November both in the One Shot "Golden Age" and her new Mini-Series.  Stargirl: The Lost Children chronicles Red Arrow and Stargirl's search for the lost Golden Age Sidekicks.  Wing, The Crimson Avengers, Sidekick seems to be the catalyst for the search, but we will know more in November.

The Justice Society also will be coming out of the "Golden Age" as well. I will talk about their return in later posts.

In the mean time this and following posts will focus on the Stargirl title and the Heroes mentioned in the following
