Who is Mark Olsen?

Debuting in the Bronze Age pages of The Superman Family #190 in 1978, Mark Olsen is a DC creation brought to life by the talented duo of Tom DeFalco and Kurt Schaffenberger. Though his catalog footprint is modest, he's earned a place in some genuinely distinguished company — sharing issues with Superman, Jimmy Olsen, The Flash, The Atom, and Arthur Curry — which speaks to the rich, sprawling world he inhabits. Collectors with a taste for the Bronze Age's warm, character-driven storytelling and an eye for completeness will find him a quietly intriguing corner of DC's expansive Superman Family universe, one that has quietly persisted across an impressive span of nearly five decades.
