by Cory	Bowery Boys Union leader William McGovern shepherds his noble carpenters federation into a labor strike, but his struggle for laborers’ rights is not met without opposition as he sets in motion the events that will bring everything he loves crashing down around him. Besieged from all sides, McGovern holds tightly to that which is dear: his faith in God and his love for his only son, Nikolaus. Alone in an unforgiving city, the adolescent Nikolaus navigates the perilous street corners and back alleys of Manhattan’s Sixth Ward — home of the notorious Five Points — and as he attempts to unburden his father, he comes face-to-face with the harsh truths of urban life. 78 subs, 1.81k views	Action	11	#Bowery Boys, #Capitalists, #Class Division, #Class Struggle, #Cory Levine, #Five Points, #Five Points Gangs, #Gangs of New York, #Historical Fiction, #Ian Bertram, #Irish Comics, #Irish Immigration, #Jewish Comics, #Jewish Diaspora, #Jewish Immigration, #Labor Unions, #Manhattan, #New York City, #new_york, #Occupy Comics, #Occupy Wall Street, #Poverty, #Rodrigo Aviles, #slums, #Street Gangs, #Tenements, #web comics, #Xenophobia	No	Free	2013-09-18	2016-02-26
