Big Words

Big Words is a member of the Newsboy Legion, a street-gang-turned-heroes group featured in Jack Kirby's run on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen. Alongside teammates Tommy, Gabby, and Jr., he inhabits Metropolis's rougher corners, known for his habit of using overly elaborate vocabulary.

Dreamed up by the legendary Jack Kirby during one of comics' most audacious creative runs, Big Words made their debut in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133 in 1970 — right in the thick of Kirby's explosive arrival at DC. Sharing pages with icons like Superman, Clark Kent, and Jimmy Olsen himself, as well as fellow travelers Tommy, Gabby, and Jr., Big Words occupies a corner of the DC universe that crackles with the King's signature energy. With appearances stretching from the Silver Age all the way to Countdown to Final Crisis in 2008, this is a character whose presence quietly endured across nearly four decades and multiple beloved series. Sixteen catalog appearances including four key issues make Big Words a genuine find for collectors who love digging into Kirby's fertile, visionary DC era.
