Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #27

Mar 1958 · DC · 0.10 USD
“The Boy from Mars”

In "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.
