JSA Presents: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #1

In "New Kid on the Block," newly arrived in Blue Valley, Courtney Whitmore stumbles upon a surprising family secret: her stepfather, Pat Dugan, was once the sidekick known as Stripesy. When she accidentally activates the Star-Spangled Kid’s cosmic belt at her first school dance, the night takes a dramatic turn as a horde of hissing, hooded students descends—forcing Courtney and Pat to step into the spotlight as the new Star-Spangled Kid and S.T.R.I.P.E. Geoff Johns writes the story with Lee Moder handling the interior art, while Dan Davis provides the inks and Tom McCraw adds color. The cover, also by Lee Moder with Dan Davis inking, captures the moment of transformation.
