Legion Publication History/Series/Jimmy Olsen

This page is written from the Real World point of view

During the Legion's early years, they sprang up sporadically across the entire Superman Family of titles that were edited by Mort Weisinger. While they eventually went on to have extended runs in Adventure Comics, Action Comics and Superboy v1, they also made a significant number of appearances in other titles within the magazine "family". Generally these were cameos or extremely subordinate to the star of the particular comic.

This page gathers the information pertaining to all issues of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen from the regular pages of the Legion Publication History.
