Set Description:

My name for this set comes from a Seinfeld episode where he makes fun of the cub reporter's knack for inaction while still getting into trouble, constantly! I started out on my 8th birthday with 1 of the 4 books in the DC 4 pack being JO # 76, a Legion cover with his Super-girlfriends fighting over him. So about every other month I acquired a Jimmy (and Lois) comic along with Superman and Batman. Certainly a waste of 12 cents a shot when I could have been getting bigger name titles off the drug store comic rack during the same time frame. So there are just a few fun issues I acquired in CGC grade, and I pictured a Kirby issue with Don Rickels to show how far DC would go in the early 70's to recapture the attention of the comic buying public. As if a 14 year old really cared that this months issue had a foul mouth insult artist on the cover! But of course, you hockey puck!
