THE AMAZING TRANSFORMATIONS OF JIMMY OLSEN (Trade Paperback)

(Updated 9/7/2007)

I finally found a copy of this trade paperback. It reprints several stories with Legion appearances.

JIMMY OLSEN #72 (10/63)

Members of the Legion put Jimmy Olsen through a super-initiation test and then make him an honorary member of the LSH.

------

JIMMY OLSEN #77 (6/64)

Jimmy uses a serum to become a giant; he wears Colossal Boy's costume.

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS: This story also features one of the puppets from the Puppet Planetoid seen in ADVENTURE #313 and #316. Why Jimmy Olsen had it is a mystery.

ROLL CALL: Cosmic Boy, Chameleon Boy, Sun Boy, Saturn Girl, Star Boy

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS: Chameleon Boy brought Jimmy to the 30th century and returned him in a time bubble. He gave Jimmy a serum that allowed Jimmy to duplicate his shape-changing powers.
