Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #51

Mar 1961 · DC · 0.10 USD
“Jimmy Olsen's 1,000th Scoop!”

In "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.
