New Heroic Comics #70
New Heroic Comics #70 is an anthology featuring stories of real-life heroism. "Handicapped Hoboken Hero" tells of Samuel Sansevere, a cargo checker in Hoboken, New Jersey, who heroically rescues a man bleeding from a head wound by preventing him from falling overboard a lighter. "Down the Drain" recounts how a mother in a Redwood City trailer camp desperately attempted to rescue her 19-month-old son after he fell into a ten-foot drainage pipe, requiring intervention from neighbors and emergency responders to extract the child. The "Honor Roll of Heroism" section documents multiple acts of bravery, including a 13-year-old Boy Scout who assisted in a rescue through thin ice, an 8-year-old who rescued his younger brother from the Harlem River in New York, and a 12-year-old from Wisconsin who saved three younger brothers from a house fire.
