Publication history
Star Spangled Comics debuted with an October 1941 cover date. The series began as a superhero title featuring the adventures of the Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy who appeared until #86 (November 1948). This feature had the distinction of a teen hero with an older sidekick. With issue #7 (April 1942), the title starred the Joe Simon and Jack Kirby-created Newsboy Legion. A series of stories featuring Robin, the Boy Wonder began in issue #65 (February 1947) and continued through the end of the title with issue #130, and primarily featured Robin solo adventures, but also included some occasional cameos by Batman. Tomahawk, a western feature, was introduced in #69 (June 1947). Merry, Girl of 1,000 Gimmicks first appeared in #81 (June 1948) in the "Star-Spangled Kid" feature. In the early 1950s, the title became dominated by horror features, and by the end of its run the book switched to a war format; at which point it was rebooted to become Star Spangled War Stories.
The Star Spangled Comics name was used again in 1999 as the title of one issue of the "Justice Society Returns" storyline.
