Okay, so this isn't Bronze Age(but is by BA legend George Perez so I feel justified). What an absolute masterclass of a cover this is! The kind of horseshoe design of the action allows the eye to flow naturally from hero to hero and each character is so uniquely situated as to be demonstrating their powers clearly and different from one another. Even two characters doing ostensibly the same thing (Wally and Jay) are doing it in different ways and with unique body language. There are 46 individual figures, but it doesn't feel cluttered and the stakes are clear (getting civilians to safety). I can't say enough about it.

I got the best present from DC Comics yesterday. I'm cleared to show you our new cover for the Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen hardcover collection! "Labor of Love" doesn't begin to describe this. Ten days of work! I hope it's as fun to examine as it was to draw. And yes, the book will include a map key identifying everyone in the crowd.

This cover, like the whole book, was colored by the great Nathan Fairbairn, who really went above and beyond. And the book also contains a bunch of extras. New essays by Matt Fraction, tons of unseen sketches. And several stories by the Jimmy team that ran outside of the main Jimmy Olsen title.

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen the Deluxe Edition will be in stores this summer.
