☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Jimmy Olsen's 1,000th Scoop!", Jimmy’s heart takes a hit when Lucy dumps him for teen idol Ricky Avalon—only for Supergirl to step in, disguised as the alien Ka-Ra, to stir up some jealousy. Otto Binder’s playful script and Curt Swan’s crisp art bring the classic charm of 1961 DC to life, with Stan Kaye’s cover capturing the moment with a touch of whimsy.
When Lucy dumps Jimmy to date teen idol Ricky Avalon, Supergirl hatches a plan to make her jealous—disguising herself as the alien Ka-Ra and going out with Jimmy. The story unfolds with playful tension as the real Ricky Avalon enters the scene, turning an ordinary date into something far more complicated.
