Just for fun.

OK, so Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #1 comes out this week from DC, kicking off a 12-issue maxi-series sure to draw the attention of old-school Olsenphiles given the Steve Lieber cover above.

Now, normally, this would have me pulling together 13 COVERS showing off Jimmy’s insane adventures in the Silver Age — but I’ve done that fairly recently. (Click here. You’ll be glad you did.)

And just this month, I posted 13 COVERS spotlighting Lois Lane’s wacky hijinks since the DC Universe’s best reporter now has her own 12-issue run under way, too. (Click here for those. You’ll thank me.)

What to do then? How about Superman Family? That, of course, was the Bronze Age title that resulted from the merger of Jimmy, Lois and Supergirl’s own mags — and picked up the numbering from the original Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen, with Issue #164.

We’ve never done a Superman Family gallery before, so it’s Super-kismet!

Right on.
