Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #84
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Jimmy Olsen's Monster Movie!", Jimmy Olsen finds himself sidelined when he balks at a simple cleaning task assigned by Perry White—only to be reassigned to the circulation department for a week, delivering newspapers in a bid to teach him humility. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by John Forte, this 1965 DC classic captures the everyday frustrations and small-scale adventures of the Daily Planet's most enthusiastic (and often misfiring) reporter. The cover, by Curt Swan and George Klein, perfectly encapsulates the issue's lighthearted tone with a playful, action-packed image of Jimmy in his usual over-the-top predicament.
When Jimmy Olsen refuses a routine cleaning chore, editor Perry White sends him on a week-long detour to the circulation department—delivering newspapers and learning the value of hard work. But when a mysterious alien named Plim and a pair of over-the-top rivals, "Rocky" Steele and "Bruiser" Barnes, join the mix, Jimmy’s simple assignment spirals into a day of unexpected chaos. With the Jimmy Olsen Fan Club watching, can he keep his cool—or will the press run out on him first?
When the head of the Jimmy Olsen Fan Club moves out of town, leaving the leadership vacant, Jimmy Olsen decides to shake things up by turning the selection into a contest. With Tommy Todd watching from the sidelines, the fan club members gear up for a series of challenges to prove who’s the most devoted — and the stakes just got a whole lot more personal.
