Jimmy Olsen's Supercyclopedia!
Today the fine folks at DC announced Jimmy Olsen's Supercyclopedia will be out April Fools' Day 2025. It's by Gabe Soria and me- I met Gabe in 2019 (the very weekend he pitched the idea to what was then DC Ink!'s Michele Wells) at a con in New Orleans. Gabe's a NOLA resident, a fellow Batman '66 veteran, and works at one of the greatest record stores I've ever shopped at. He'd been nurturing the idea for years, and I happened to be in the right place at the right time to eventually draw it. Jimmy was greenlit, and our old '66 editor Jim Chadwick tapped me to draw it. I had other stuff to clear out of the way, and last spring we finally got started- after Jim had passed the book to Kristy Quinn, my editor on Bombshells United and Teen Titans Go! Kristy's the best, Jim's retired and living abroad, everyone's happy :) Jimmy Olsen's Supercyclopedia finds Jimmy making a dumb mistake, and rather than getting his pal Superman to fix things ...
Thanks for posting the Meskin story, Sandy. By the way, are you any relation to the late poet Randall Jarrell?
ReplyDeleteI'm not. But my mom took a class he was teaching when she attended the Woman's College in Greensboro around 1960 :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to share the Vig, Thanks for looking.
