Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen 9, December 1955!



Download Episode 181!

SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN 9, December 1955, was published around October 18, 1955. It contained 32 pages for the cover price of a dime. The editor was Mort Weisinger, and the cover was pencilled by Curt Swan and inked by Stan Kaye.

All three 8 page stories were created by the same team, writer Otto Binder, penciller Curt Swan and inker Ray Burnley. They have been reprinted in SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SUPERMAN FAMILY vol. I.

- JIMMY OLSEN, CUB INVENTOR!

- THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!

- THE MISSLE OF STEEL!

Elsewhere in DC Comics, 29 titles carried the December 1955, or the December 1955/January 1956 cover date.

I also share my feelings about the recently announced reboot of the entire line of DC Comics with 52 No. 1 issues in September of this year.
