Jerry White

Stepping into the Superman corner of the DC Universe during the exciting Copper Age revitalization of the Man of Steel, Jerry White made his debut in Adventures of Superman #428 in 1987, courtesy of the talented team of Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway. Over a focused run through the late '80s and into 1990, Jerry carved out a place across the triangle of flagship Superman titles — Adventures of Superman, Superman, and Action Comics — sharing pages with some of comics' most iconic names: Superman himself, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White. With 20 appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, Jerry White is a fascinating piece of that rich, character-dense era when DC was rebuilding the Superman mythos from the ground up — a supporting-cast gem worth seeking out for any serious Superman historian.
