Scrapper, Jr.

Scrapper, Jr. is a young member of the Newsboy Legion introduced during Jack Kirby's celebrated run on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, serving as a next-generation counterpart to the original Scrapper of the classic Golden Age Newsboy Legion.

Bursting onto the scene in 1970 courtesy of the legendary Jack Kirby, Scrapper, Jr. is a Silver Age DC creation who made their debut in the pages of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen — one of comics' most beloved and offbeat titles. Sharing adventures with icons like Superman, Clark Kent, and Jimmy Olsen himself, as well as colorful companions like Gabby, Jr. and Flipper Dipper, this character inhabits a wonderfully distinctive corner of the Superman universe. With appearances spread across Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, The Superman Family, and Adventures of Superman over nearly two decades, Scrapper, Jr. proved to have genuine staying power in DC's Silver and Bronze Age continuity. Two of those eleven catalog appearances carry key-issue status — making this a character that rewards the attentive collector digging into Kirby's fertile, imaginative run on one of DC's most spirited titles.
