Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom 1955 comes this delightful entry in DC's beloved Jimmy Olsen series, featuring a cover by penciler Curt Swan and inker Stan Kaye that captures the pure fun of the era: a grinning Jimmy sits at a control panel — labeled with commands like "Flying Fists," "Smashing," and "Super-Sock" — remotely piloting a Superman robot visible on a monitor screen, where the mechanical Man of Steel crashes through a brick wall and scatters a crowd of startled criminals. The cover's speech bubble says it all: "Controlling this robot of Superman is almost like being Superman himself!" — a concept that perfectly showcases Otto Binder's imaginative storytelling matched with Curt Swan's clean, expressive linework throughout the interior.
