SUPERMAN’S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #94

Visible defects include a noticeable spine split/tear at the upper left edge, general spine wear with some color rubbing along the fold, and soft/rounded corners. The cover shows moderate surface wear and a few small creases, with the overall gloss diminished. The book is in a protective sleeve, and interior and back cover were not assessed.

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #94 (DC Comics, cover-dated July 1966) is a standard issue from the long-running Silver Age humor-adventure title built around Superman's cub-reporter sidekick. Like most entries in the series during this stretch, it delivers the transformation gags, alien-encounter plots, and light domestic comedy that defined the Jimmy Olsen line under editor Mort Weisinger, with Curt Swan's Superman-family house style anchoring the cover art typical of the era. The issue carries no recognized first appearance, death, or origin story, and its cover is not among the images cited by price guides as a Silver Age standout.

Market data for the issue is thin and heavily skewed toward the top of the census: a lone CGC 9.8 has changed hands and commands a substantial premium over every other certified grade, while copies in the 8.5–9.4 range sell for double- and triple-digit sums that fall off sharply as grade declines. No sales are recorded below 8.0, which is typical for a common mid-run Silver Age DC title with modest surviving high-grade population and no crossover demand from character-specific collectors. The steepness of the curve above 9.4 reflects rarity at the extreme top of the census rather than any broad-based collector demand for the issue itself.

This book trades as a bulk or fill-in item for Jimmy Olsen and Superman-family completists rather than as a destination purchase. Raw copies in low and mid grade move at nominal, bargain-bin prices to readers assembling a full run or students of the Weisinger-era Superman titles. The only meaningful money in the issue sits at the pinnacle of the certified population, where a single top-graded slab can command a four-figure price purely on condition rarity; collectors pursuing that tier are chasing census supremacy on an otherwise unremarkable title, not the story or character content.
