	Suicide Slum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Whited Sepulchres and Other Old Lies
		Because all the eyes here are open; the Slum sees him, the Slum sees everything, and the Slum, well it's a mean sonofabitch, but that's not a secret.
		The Slum's not about to let anyone take it for a ride - and Lionel's not embarrassed to think that if he was to be a place, then he'd be this place.
		Lionel's used to Metropolis, which stares unseeing at the open sores in its streets, or the Slum, which watches, and never forgets, not a single blow or drop of blood.

		Smoke billowed into the evening sky and angry young men kicked the decapitated head of the suicide attacker, who appeared to be an African, that lay in the street at a shop door, according to AP Television News video.
		The nature of the attack, its use of a suicide bomber, bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida in Iraq, which has said it hoped to start a Shiite-Sunni civil conflict.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Newsboy Legion
		The newsboys were Tommy (the leader), Big Words (who, inevitably, wore glasses), Gabby (a little guy with a big mouth, and no relation) and Scrapper (a little guy with big fists).
		They were orphans living in Suicide Slum, who, as the title suggests, made their living selling newspapers — but as the series opened, they weren't above supplementing their income with a little petty crime.
		Decades later, Kirby returned to DC and used the boys, now grown and working on a large genetics research project, as supporting characters (along with their sons, who were a lot like they'd been as kids).
