DC Comics cleared me to show our new cover for the Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen hardcover collection. "Labor of Love" doesn't begin to describe this. Ten days of work! I hope it's as fun to examine as it was to draw. And yes, the book will include a map key, identifying who is who.

It'll be in stores Jul 29, 2025
ISBN 9781799501879, and for collectors, I'll have some signed and sketched copies available on etsy.

The cover of the Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen hardcover. A tribute to Superman vs Muhammad Ali, with 140 real people in the audience. Warner's legal department had a blast getting all the name and likeness clearances. Jimmy is written by Matt Fraction, drawn by me with assists from Tom Rogers, colored by Nathan Fairbairn, and lettered by Clayton Cowles. And god bless collection editor Reza Lokman for shepherding this logistical nightmare.
The line art for the cover. Don't even bother trying to explore this on your phone. It's either desktop or wait for the book. Special thanks to everyone at my studio, Helioscope, for putting up with me while I drew it.
