☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn Secret Origins #19, writer Roy Thomas and artist Arvell Jones introduce the origins of a patriotic symbol with "The Coming of... Uncle Sam," tracing the journey of Jim Harper from vigilante to guardian. When he steps in to vouch for four troubled teens, his act of faith sets the stage for the formation of the Newsboy Legion. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Murphy Anderson and Jack Kirby, captures the era’s bold spirit.
In "The Coming of... Uncle Sam," Jo helps Buddy Smith confront the men responsible for his grandfather's death, then joins him in rallying the people of Glen Valley to resist the Black Legion’s intimidation. The story unfolds with quiet determination, blending personal justice with the rise of a community’s courage.
In this 1987 tale from *Secret Origins* #19, Jim Harper steps into the role of the Guardian to bring criminals to justice, but his journey takes a different turn when he later uses his influence to help four wayward youths avoid detention. Their paths cross in a moment that sets the stage for something greater—though how exactly they come together remains a mystery.
