Pluck was a British boys' story paper published by the Amalgamated Press in the late 19th and early 20th century. Although it never reached the same level of popularity as the Halfpenny Marvel or the Union Jack, it holds historical significance for introducing the fictional school of St. Jim's, the setting for the famous "Tom Merry" stories. Its halfpenny series ran for 518 issues from 24 November 1894 to 29 October 1904. Its penny edition ran for 594 issues from 5 November 1904 to 18 March 1916.
