Description

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen. So many options. Draw the traditional version as we saw on Earth-One or Earth-Two, the gee-willikers-Mr.-Kent-bowtie-wearing cub reporter? One of the countless oddball incarnations we saw in the sixties? The turtleneck-wearing lad of action we saw under Jack Kirby's reign? In the end, I went for a kind of tribute to the cover of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #53. The one where he was transformed into a giant turtle-man. It's one of the better known transformations, up there with Elastic Lad, Wolfman Olsen, Porcupine Olsen.

But I was really tempted to do Bizarro Jimmy Olsen. Because I reckon he's got a signal watch that everyone except Bizarro can hear, because it's so loud.
