The penny dreadful knew its own readership's streets. The Wild Boys of London, issued penny-weekly by George Vickers, sent a gang of Thames-side urchins tumbling through the sewers, the wharves and the rookeries of the self-same city the newsboy inhabited - every number a ha'penny's worth of hazard. The reformer called it corrupting; the newsboy called it Tuesday. #PennyDreadful #VictorianLondon
