Flipper Dipper

Born in the pages of Jack Kirby's legendary run on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen in 1970, Flipper Dipper is a Silver Age DC curiosity with genuine collector cachet — two of their ten catalogued appearances rank as key issues, which is a remarkable ratio for a character of this vintage. Flipper Dipper keeps lively company, sharing adventures with Superman and Jimmy Olsen themselves, alongside Gabby, Jr., Scrapper, Jr., and Tommy across the pages of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen and The Superman Family. It's a modest but meaningful footprint in the Kirby era of DC, a time when the King was reimagining what the Superman corner of the universe could look like — and any character touched by that creative lightning is worth a second glance on the longbox hunt.
