Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Boy from Mars," Jimmy Olsen takes a wild leap into the spotlight—literally—when he stages a hoax as a Martian visitor to boost his paper’s circulation. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with Curt Swan’s crisp art and Ray Burnley’s dynamic inks, this 1958 classic captures the charm and mischief of a young reporter caught between ambition and the consequences of his own imagination. The cover, by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye, perfectly encapsulates the playful sci-fi flair of the tale.
In "The Boy from Mars," Jimmy Olsen’s stunt to boost newspaper sales takes a strange turn when he pretends to be an alien visitor from Mars—only to find his prank spiraling into something far more unexpected. With Jaxx 4928 somehow involved, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur in ways the young reporter never imagined.
