The Ten Most Insane Jimmy Olsen Comics of All Time

 

 

This week, the first installment of Nick Spencer and RB Silva’s Jimmy Olsen story hits the printed page in Action Comics, and to mark the occasion, I’ve compiled a list of The Ten Most Insane Jimmy Olsen Comics Ever.

For long-time ISB readers, some of these are going to be old news — my love of Jimmy Olsen has been a mainstay of the site for five years — but there are also a few new ones in there, and trust me, it’s worth it just for #2.

  1. I read that “Olsen, the Roughneck!” one somewhere. Man, it is a long, hard, road setting up a gag where Lucy Lane gets punched in the face by a kangaroo whilst blindfolded and thinking it’s Jimmy.

  2. I’m guessing whoever wrote ‘Olsen the Roughneck’ was working through some woman issues at the time, a la Brad Meltzer in ‘Identity Crisis’ – come ot think of it, a boxing kangaroo suddenly showing up to knock some sense into Jean Loring might have improved that whole thing…

    Also, somebody needs to explain that Insect Queen panel, as it looks vaguely pornographic (though nowhere near as pornographic as the one immediately below it).
