This cover is a bit of a rarity, in that it's one (the first, in fact) of
only two instances (that I know of)) where MURPHY ANDERSON
completely inked a page of JACK KIRBY's art. (The second, inked
long-after Jack had passed away, was published in an ish of The Jack
Kirby Collector a few years ago.) Oddly, the above cover's inks were
credited to VINCE COLLETTA in the second of two volumes of collec-
ted JIMMY OLSEN tales back in 2004. (Not an easy mistake to make,
I would've thought.) Although I'm a fan of Colletta-inked JK pages, I've
got to admit that the above cover makes me wish Murphy had inked
the complete run of Olsen books - and can you just imagine what
he'd have done on Jack's pencils on MARVEL's FF? Wow!
(There's perhaps a hint of Colletta in FLIPPA-DIPPA's face,
so I wonder if he was involved in the page before Murphy at some
stage. It looks predominantly Anderson to my eyes 'though.)
