From 1954 til 1974, James Bartholomew Olsen had his own monthly title, meaning that his run was longer than Hawk & Dove, The Question, Ambush Bug and Major Bummer combined, with room for all three volumes of the Secret Six. In those years, he got super-powers like a hundred times, went to countless other planets, time-traveled back to babysit Superman on Krypton and got married to Lucy Lane half-a-dozen times. Now, Jimmy’s back with his own limited series, one that I hope turns into an ongoing book again, leading to today’s bow-tie-wearing query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) has a sentimental attachment to Elastic Lad, mostly because they kind of stole his origin story whole-cloth for Elongated Man, asking: What’s the best Jimmy Olsen moment in all of pop culture history?
