"A Separate Peace in Pieces!" brings together two iconic youth teams in a unique crossover spotlighting the Newsboy Legion and the Boy Commandos, written by Joe Simon and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Arthur Cazeneuve. When the Legion launches their own comic, Suicide Slum Comics, and creates the Fearless Defenders to fight real-life villains in their neighborhood, the Guardian takes notice—reading an issue that confirms his suspicions about crooks in the slum, prompting him to step in and protect the kids. The cover, by Howard Chaykin, captures the bold energy of the story’s high-stakes blend of heroism and street-level intrigue.
