Leading Comics

Writer Mort Weisinger helped unveil the 7 Soldiers of Victory, DC's second super hero team, a year after the company inaugurated the concept with the Justice Society of America. Most of the 7 Soldiers had newly minted pedigrees, with many of those written by Weisinger himself. The line up consisted of Crimson Avenger (from Detective Comics), Green Arrow and Speedy (from More Fun), Shining Knight (from Adventure), Star Spangled Kid and Stripesy (from Star Spangled Comics) and the gun toting Vigilante ( a new star in Action Comics).
