Tomorrow Elephant

I’m really looking forward to Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns. But somehow, I doubt it’s going to feature Jimmy Olsen’s creepy, creepy fan club and a Viking princess…

In case you’re not familiar with the Superman mythos, Jimmy Olsen is Superman’s pal, a freckle-faced cub reporter who gets into trouble a lot. He had a long-lived series of his own in the 60s and the 70s that featured some of the trippiest storylines in comics outside Robert Crumb’s head. Whatever those Silver Age comics writers were smoking, I want some. There are a lot of cover scans floating around in the internets, and … they are just indescribable.

There is much, much more of this crack at the now-famous Superdickery. For example, did you know that Jimmy Olsen was also Hitler’s astrologer? Or that at one point Lois Lane became the bride of Satan?
