Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #29
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Superman Book That Couldn't Be Finished," Jimmy Olsen stumbles upon a pair of mysterious spectacles that reveal glimpses of the future—visions so vivid they terrify him, especially one showing his own drowning. Determined to escape the fate he’s foreseen, Jimmy takes drastic measures, only to find Superman has a different plan: turning the near-tragedy into a lesson through a "safety first" film. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with Curt Swan’s precise art and Ray Burnley’s inks, this 1958 tale blends sci-fi curiosity with a touch of whimsy. The cover, penciled by Swan and inked by Stan Kaye, captures Jimmy’s wide-eyed surprise perfectly.
In "Jimmy Olsen's Super Pet," a now-elderly Krypto unexpectedly returns to Metropolis after years in space, much to Jimmy Olsen’s delight. Though Superman lets Jimmy keep him as a pet, Krypto’s age-related mishaps soon draw the ire of the City Council, who declare him a menace. Forced to act, Superman intervenes—using a surprising mix of kryptonite and mineral waters to restore Krypto’s youthful vigor.
Jimmy Olsen stumbles upon mysterious spectacles from a scientific villain, only to see a chilling vision of his own death by drowning. Determined to avoid the fate he’s foreseen, he stays far from water—only for Superman to pull him right into the scene anyway. Now caught in a strange twist, Jimmy finds himself playing a role in a "safety first" film about drowning, all because Superman believes the best way to prevent tragedy is to face it head-on.
