I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'legendary hero' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'family newspaper coming back with day' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'coming back' is a reversal indicator.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'day' becomes 'thur' (abbreviation for Thursday).
'rag' back-to-front is 'gar'.
'kin'+'gar'+'thur'='KING ARTHUR'

'featuring' is the link.
