I recently finished reading THE NEWSBOY LEGION BY JOE SIMON AND JACK KIRBY 1. I loved this book! Jack's gritty, realistic art was highlighted by his superb ability to compose and design multi figured action fight scenes with dynamic power and tension. The stories were far more topical and sociological than I would have expected from comics dating from the mid 1940s: the boys live in a slum and the series takes a serious look at the ramifications of poverty and juvenile delinquency.

The repro in this collection is crisp and clean...a huge improvement over the recent DC S & K SANDMAN volume.
