Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #3

In "Desperadoes under the Leaves!", Jimmy Olsen makes a dramatic exit—literally—digging his own grave while pretending to be dead, all as part of a plan to vanish into Gotham City under a new identity. With Superman playing along, Jimmy leaves behind his signal watch and a carefully staged funeral, setting the stage for a fresh start. Written by Matt Fraction and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Steve Lieber—both inks and pencils—this issue captures Jimmy’s bold leap into the unknown, with Nathan Fairbairn’s colors and Clayton Cowles’ lettering adding subtle depth. The cover by Steve Lieber perfectly frames the moment’s gravity and irony.
