Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #39
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Super-Lad of Space!", Jimmy Olsen takes a wild ride beyond Earth when he sneaks aboard an engineless rocket launched by Superman—dressed in the Man of Steel’s suit, no less. After a crash landing on an unknown world, Jimmy discovers he’s gained super-powers, turning his lifelong dream of being a hero into reality. But with his identity as Jimmy Olsen impossible to hide, he’s suddenly the most famous (and most recognizable) hero in the cosmos. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by Curt Swan, with inks by John Forte, this 1959 classic features cover art by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye.
When a fortune in cash vanishes through a window, Jimmy Olsen finds himself in a whirlwind of financial chaos — and Superman’s help only seems to make things worse. As the Flying Newsroom buzzes with panic, Jimmy’s luck turns even more spectacularly bad, piling up another million-dollar debt with no clear way out.
When Jimmy Olsen accidentally dozes off with his signal watch hidden away, he’s left scrambling to reach Superman—without the one tool that’s always kept them connected. Now, with the Anti-Superman Gang on the move and his own confidence shaken, Jimmy must think fast to send a signal that can’t be missed. With the Flying Newsroom buzzing and "Ace" Manton watching closely, every second counts.
