Two for the price of one this time around, Crivs - SUPERMAN'S PAL THE NEW JIMMY OLSEN #s 139 & 141 (a two-parter, 140 being a giant ish containing non JK reprints), which I originally purchased in the early '70s. I've always thought (and often said) that JACK KIRBY's turn on Jimmy Olsen was the best thing he ever did at DC COMICS, and these two mags (along with #s 142 & 143) are ample testimony to that fact. An interesting plot, great art (inked by the unfairly maligned VINCE COLLETTA), and mostly (with the odd exception) freer-flowing dialogue than Kirby normally delivered, the tale rips along at a cracking pace and is hugely entertaining.
Anyway, DC published all of Jack's Jimmy Olsen issues (sans '40s reprints) a year or so back in a single volume collected edition, so if you missed these stories back in the '70s (being too busy or unborn), now's the chance to catch up on them. Visit your local comics shop today - though you may find them less expensive on Amazon or ebay. In the meantime, whet your appetite by perusing the powerful pages on dynamic display in this 'ere pulsating post.
Got a favourite Kirby Jimmy Olsen issue? If so, tell your fellow Crivs which one (or ones, if it's a two parter) in our captivating comments section.
