Flippa Dippa

Flippa Dippa made a splash in the Bronze Age, debuting in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #135 in 1971 — a Jack Kirby creation, which alone makes any first appearance worth tracking down. This DC character shares adventures alongside heavy hitters like Superman and Clark Kent, as well as the street-tough Newsboy Legion crew including Scrapper, Gabby, and Big Words. Popping up across titles like Adventures of Superman and the crossover curiosity Superman & Savage Dragon: Metropolis over nearly three decades, Flippa Dippa is a genuine piece of Kirby's wild, imaginative reimagining of the Superman corner of the DC universe — a small but distinctive thread in a very colorful tapestry.
