    Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133 - The Newsboy Legion! by gc8 on May 26, 2011

    In 1970 Jack Kirby had a bitter break with the powers-that-be at Marvel, and jumped ship for D.C. But, from the get-go, it was pretty clear that although D.C. wanted King Kirby, they were a little baffled with what to do with him - Inhuman societies, and galactic heralds weren't the kind of thing that was going on at D.C.... so, they assigned Jack to the title Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen - of course!?!If one forgets that this is Jack Kirby at the helm, there are a million things "wrong" with this...
