Superman Podcast (Story 002.1) 1940-04-15 to 1940-04-19 (0028 - 0030) First appearance of Jimmy Olsen - Doneli's Protection Racket - Parts 1-3 75 years ago today, Jimmy Olsen made his first appearance in any medium! The character was first introduced as Jimmy Olsen in the radio show The Adventures of Superman on April 15, 1940[4] mainly "so the Man of Steel would have someone to talk to."[5] With Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster creating and drawing the physical appearance and giving him a bigger personality, the character moved from the radio show back into the comics in 1941, first appearing as a named character in the story "Superman versus The Archer" in Superman #13 (November–December 1941).[6][7] But after a handful of appearances, he disappeared again. In late 1953, while Jack Larson was playing the character on the Adventures of Superman television show where he was referred to as "Jim Olsen", the character was revived in the Superman comics after a 10-year absence and then given his own title.
