Who is Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen?

Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen is an imperfect duplicate of Jimmy Olsen inhabiting the Bizarro World, DC's Silver Age realm of backwards logic and twisted replicas. Like his fellow Bizarros, he mirrors his counterpart in grotesque, inverted fashion.

A delightfully twisted product of DC's Silver Age imagination, Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen shambled onto the scene in 1961's Adventure Comics #290, dreamed up by the legendary Jerry Siegel and artist John Forte. Part of the wonderfully strange Bizarro corner of the DC universe, this imperfect duplicate keeps gloriously odd company — sharing panels with Bizarro himself, Bizarro-Perry White, Superman, and Clark Kent across the pages of Adventure Comics, Superman, and Action Comics. With a publishing history stretching all the way to 2007, this character is a charming emblem of Silver Age DC's boundless, gleeful creativity, and a must-know for any collector who loves the era's most inventive flights of fancy.
