Leo O'Mealia gorilla cover; 1st Jimmy Olsen (11/38)
DESCRIPTION
tear top edge of front cover cover lightly cleaned
Leo O'Mealia gorilla cover; 1st Jimmy Olsen (11/38)The colorful, detailed cover, rendered with great skill by Golden Age pioneer Leo O'Mealia, is atypical of most comics from the era, which were generally crude and amateurish, making this book one of the most sought after from the dawn of comics. Even better, this issue features the very first appearance of Jimmy Olsen, although not named in the issue, Jimmy makes his debut in the Superman feature as a lowly office clerk and not the photojournalist he is known as today.
Artist Information
Joseph Shuster was a Canadian-American comic book artist best known for co-creating the DC Comics character Superman, with writer Jerry Siegel, in Action Comics #1.
