![]() Action Comics #60 (May 1943) - Lois Lane - Superwoman.Superman #19 (November/December 1942) - ∼ase of the Funny Paper Crimes.Superman #13 (November/December 1941) - The Archer.Pre-Crisis Superman Comic Book Reviews 1938-1949 It was entertaining, but I wouldn't say the greatest. Unfortunately, Guardian looks bored, Goody's costume is colored wrong again, and the blurb ( Rushing towards the greatest climax ever seen in comics) is a bit of a lie. I like the colors, there is some background (if you consider flames background), and there is actual action. Not just because of the fact that it is Kirby's art, but after the previous issues having a somewhat 70s experimental, psychedelic, look to them, the people on this, between their hair styles and clothing, look like refugees from an old issue of Fantastic Four.Ĭover Art - 4: Neal Adams returns to help Jack Kirby with the cover again, and I must say it's not bad. However, after all this time of seeing DNAliens and 4-Armed Terrors, this is really the first time we've seen these characters in the "real" world, and unfortunately a lot of it looked like I was reading a 60s Marvel book, especially with the bus scene. However, they weren't even mentioned, so we can only imagine what has happened to them since the end of the last part of this story.Īrt - 4: Kirby's art was great again this issue. I didn't even mind the lack of the Newsboys, especially since they'd been getting a little whiny lately. Also, we get to see Superman meet Lightray for the first time, which was cool. I liked the pacing, the character interactions, Guardian finally getting into some solo action and showing what he can do (even though we don't actually see most of it). No part of Kirby's story in Jimmy Olsen has been skipped, I promise.Īs for this issue, I loved it. Story - 5: Okay, first of all, before I talk about this issue I want to point out that I realize that I skipped an issue, but issue #140 was a Giant issue, that reprinted old Silver-Age stories, most of which involved Superman and Jimmy as Nightwing and Flamebird in Kandor. After Edge explains that they are no longer needed, they turn to leave, but Don Rickles shouts that he's the bomb and tells them to take him away as he makes ticking sounds. It is Clark, who has been sent home via boom-tube by Lightray.Ĭlark and Jimmy decide to use this opportunity to talk to Edge about what has been going on, but suddenly the bomb squad breaks into the office. Don, who seems to be cracking up at this point, comes back in to take a seat now that things are back to normal, but is suddenly rocked by a boom-tube opening behind him. He them tells everyone that Mannheim and his men have been arrested and that this little adventure seems to be over. He quickly goes to Edge's office and gives Jimmy and Goody the antidote, explaining that he had already taken it, which it why he wasn't aflame. Edge sends Don into another room for safety, just as Guardian bursts in through a window. Suddenly, both Jimmy and Goody begin to burst into flame, which does not hurt them, but does make them weak. As Edge calls for the bomb squad, Don and Goody finally meet, and Goody begins driving Don crazy. Mannheim brings in more troops to fight Guardian.Īt Morgan Edge's office, Goody and Jimmy interrupt the contract talks to ask for help. He enters through an air vent on the roof and deflects blaster fire with his shield. Jimmy calms him down as we cut to Guardian, who has used the rooftops to catch up to, and overtake, Inter-Gang's mobile HQ. This upsets Goody and his anger causes smoke to come out of his pores. On Earth, Jimmy and Goody are on a bus to WGBS when the other riders begin to become annoyed by Goody's inability to shut up. When Lightray points out that some of Darkseid's para-demons are heading towards the ship, Clark quickly accepts Lightray's offer of help. Clark has heard of Apokolips, and its master Darkseid, from some strange kids he met on Earth (See Forever People #1). He tells Clark that that the ship is heading to Apokolips and offers to save him. They lead Rickles into Edge's office, and the men begin haggling over a contract.īack in the other-universe, the man of light actually flies into the UFO (without damaging the ship) and introduces himself as Lightray. At the WGBS building, Don Rickles has arrived and is immediately mobbed by the employees, only to be saved by Morgan Edge and Miss Conway. In Metropolis, Guardian tells Jimmy and Goody to head to the WGBS building to get help while he goes after Inter-Gang to try to get an antidote against the Pyro-Granulate. As he sees that it is actually a man inside the light, he notices that it is heading straight for the UFO. Suddenly, Clark notices what appears to be a beam of light flying through space. Clark Kent is still in the UFO, which is flying through the strange other-universal galaxy. ![]()
