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  given to him to revitalize 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! 

With a cover by Neal Adams, here is issues #135 from 1971.  It features the story "Evil Factory!", written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Coletta (with additional inking by Murphy Anderson and Al Plastino on some of the Superman and Jimmy Olsen faces throughout the story).  

SUPERMAN leads JIMMY to 'The Project' where the original NEWSBOY LEGION work as scientists to crack the basoc DNA code making it possible to create clones. Meanwhile, MOKKARI and SIMYAN, minions of DARKSEID (in just his 2nd DC appearance!), dispatch their own clone of JIMMY to 'The Project' complex to disrupt the research project.

This is a great-looking copy of one of the foundational titles in Kirby's 'Fourth World' opus. 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 8.0 VF condition at $63!! . . . but we're offering it for just $37 . .  and along with our L•O•W  shipping, it's an irresistible bargain!
