Talk:Newsboy Legion (New Earth)

Suicide Slum
In Star-Spangled Comics Vol 1 10 (July 1942), the Newsboy Legion story is set in "York City".

According to Jim Harper, in All-Star Squadron Annual Vol 1 1 (1982), page 14, panel 2, Suicide Slum is in New York City.

In Secret Origins Vol 2 19 (Oct 1987), page 9, panel 5, Jim Harper is reading a copy of the Daily Planet, sold to him by the N.B.Legion.

So: 1/ original golden-age source material places Suicide Slum in York City, 2/ pre-COIE source material places it in New York City, and 3/ post-COIE/pre-Zero-Hour source material places it in Metropolis.

It seems obvious to me that the Earth-Two Suicide Slum was in NYC and the New Earth S.S. was in Metropolis, but I don't believe for a second that I can prove that. I also don't know what to do about "York City". Stoop Davy Dave (talk) 21:58, April 9, 2017 (UTC)
