Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen by Jack Kirby

Legendary comics creator Jack Kirby reinvented the superhero genre with his sprawling saga of the Fourth World--a bold storytelling vision that was decades ahead of its time. In honor of this extraordinary talent's centennial, DC Comics is proud to re-present the groundbreaking work of the King of Comics in a brand-new series of trade paperback editions, collecting his classic DC titles in all their four-color glory! Kirby debuted his larger-than-life epic in the pages of DC's beloved sidekick showcase, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen--and the Man of Steel's world would never be the same! After resurrecting the Newsboy Legion--his scrappy band of half-pint heroes from the Golden Age of Comics--Kirby launched them headlong into some of the strangest adventures ever to befall Daily Planet stalwarts Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent! Beyond the boundaries of civilization, in the uncharted land known as the Wild Area, radical new societies are forming--including vibrant tribes like the Hairies and the Outsiders. Young and free, they answer to no authority save their own! But behind the jet-powered cycles and otherworldly weapons of these cantankerous clans there lurks a hidden power whose dark ambitions are greater than anyone could suspect. When its true nature is finally revealed, what will it mean for the future of Metropolis--and Earth itself? Gasp at the spectacle of super-science unleashed--and thrill to the imaginative power of one of the medium's greatest masters--in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen by Jack Kirby, collecting the King's complete run on the celebrated series from issues #133-139 and #141-148.
