Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #5

Jan 2020 · DC · 3.99 USD
“Fun, Sexy, Cool Date Night!”

In "Fun, Sexy, Cool Date Night!", Jimmy Olsen’s sudden death sends shockwaves through Metropolis—only to be upended when Dr. Mantel erupts from the grave at his funeral, revealing the body buried was a decoy. Written by Matt Fraction and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Steve Lieber (pencils and inks), this issue dives into a surreal mystery where Jimmy’s fate remains uncertain, and the line between life and deception blurs. The cover, also by Lieber, captures the eerie twist with unsettling precision.
