Superman #3/1966
In "Wie Jimmy Olsen Superman kennenlernte," a nostalgic flashback reveals Jimmy Olsen's extraordinary journey through time to Krypton, where he meets Jor-El, Lara, and the infant Kal-El—briefly serving as the baby Superman’s caretaker. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Ray Burnley, this 1966 tale captures a rare, tender moment in Superman’s mythos, culminating in Jimmy receiving his job at the Planet Tribune and the iconic signal watch. The cover, also by Swan and Burnley, perfectly frames the story’s timeless charm.
In a nostalgic flashback, Jimmy Olsen journeys through a time machine to Krypton, where he meets Jor-El, Lara, and the infant Kal-El—whom he accidentally babysits. Back in his own time, Superman rewards him with a job at the Daily Planet and gifts him the iconic signal watch.
