Item Description
JACK KIRBY's arrival at DC was the biggest comics news of 1970! I remember the excitement and speculation about just what he would do with the established DC characters . . . or new ones born of his limitless imagination! One of the titles was SUPERMAN'S PAL, Jimmy OLSEN - a title that had been around since 1954 and desperately needed a breath of new life - exactly what KIRBY could provide!In "The Saga of the D.N.Aliens!", and with the help of the GUARDIAN and SUPERMAN, JIMMY and the Newsboy Legion manage to subdue the GIANT JIMMY OLSEN CLONE from the previous issue. They learn that the original GUARDIAN died recently after being fatally injured by some criminals, and the original Newsies used his genetic material to clone him after his passing. Elsewhere, Simyan and Mokkari confess their failure to DARKSEID, who orders them to unleash a new menace on the DNA Project.
Neal Adams contributed the finished SUPERMAN figure on the cover, and throughout the issue, Murphy Anderson finessed Kirby's faces of SUPERMAN and JIMMY!
This is a great-looking copy of one of the foundational issues of Kirby's 'Fourth World' opus - and also provides the origin of the 'new' GUARDIAN that will become an integral part of the DC Universe. The binding is strong, the pages are supple and bright, there are no splits, tears, separations, or pieces missing; not even any stress lines! - a terrific part of any Kirby collection! Overstreet values this issue in this condition at $23 . . . but we're offering it for $12, along with our L•O•W shipping!
