Patriotic Reading Room SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN "When Olsen Changed History!"

We Have Already Seen...

...since this is the continuation of a story from the previous issue, I'll let the narrator clue you in as t what's going on...
Had ya goin' there for a minute, eh?
Written by Leo Dorman and illustrated by Pete Costanza, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Jimmy Olsen #127 (1970) was one of the last Silver Age-style stories of "Superman's Pal" as a radical change came only a half-year later as Jack (King) Kirby, coming over from Marvel, asumed writer-penciler duties with #133...
...the Bronze Age got fully under way, and elements of Kirby's Fourth World became part of the DC mythos!

Patriotic Reading Room SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN "Jimmy Olsen--Traitor!"

Which of the Man of Steel's Besties Got into More Trouble?
Lois Lane or Jimmy Olsen?

Don't answer until you've read this never-reprinted Silver Age story...
To Be Concluded...Next Sunday!
Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Pete Costanza, this tale from DC's Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #126 (1970) wasn't considered odd or unique enough to warrant being the cover story...
Hope You Had a Happy (and Safe) 4th of July!

Don Rickles (1926-2017)

While my fellow comics fans remember his "star turn" in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen...
...many don't realize he did an occasional appearance in genre TV!
Rickles' good friend Don Adams put him in Get Smart as Sid Krimm, an old army pal of Maxwell Smart's who ends up being pulled into the world of spies in the two-parter "Little Black Book".
Bonus: the original art by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta for page 16 above!
Note how much detail was muddied in the printing process!
