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 AGAIN, he resolves to take care of it himself, with the help of his *other* pals Rip Hunter and Linda Park. Together they travel the multiverse in Rip's TimeRider, tracking down members of ToyBoy's Mischief League and encountering most of the luminaries of the DC Universe along the way. It's an educational adventure in 12 chapters, with informative Supercyclopedia entries between. It's made with love, loaded with fun stuff for kids of all ages, and I can hardly wait for y'all to read it. 

Here's the cover:

And here's me and Gabe fixin' to brainstorm in my back yard (in our coincidental R. Crumb illustrated shirts, what?!?), September 2021:
