Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #5
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.
