Jimmy Olsen and Wolfsbane

 

They're both redheads that have been known to turn into wolves, so I think that these two would definitely find some common ground.  I always like Rahne Sinclair, especially in her earlier appearances.  Later efforts to make her a little more edgy didn't really work for me.

I am always glad to use the amazing art of Bob McLeod on this blog.  Here's a page I picked up by him and inker Tom Palmer several years back:

Ha! :D
Great cover!
One of my favorite reads is the trade paperback of all of Jimmy Olsen's wacky transformations.

Poor Jimmy. Ever since they found out he had a poster of Lyle Talbot in his bedroom they been making him out to be a real wolf. Even Lucy yelled out "Werewolf"? And Lois replied with "There, there wolf." Jimmy just went "back into his shell".

"What If" Jimmy came from Krypton instead of Clark. Would he be in trouble with both sisters?

I say, let these two be an ongoing couple on these pages. It could even go so far as to someday bring us an Aaron Ashmore/Maisie Williams photo cover.

I won't even try to top what the others have already said.

I shall merely praise your good fortune at acquiring such great artwork. Even without word balloons, it sets the mood for a confrontation, between Dr. Strange and Dracula, with proper eerieness. And I will always be astounded that it took at least ten years (following the publication of TOMB OF DRACULA v.1/#1) for Marvel to bring these two together in the first place!

Jimmy's transformations were always good for a laugh.

I love the cover, and the pairing is inspired!

Good to know that Wolfsbane would never get into a catfight. Too bad tv was never true to Lucy - never shown as a flight attendant. Don't think even Jimmy ever uttered
those words of history I Love Lucy!

The only way you could surpass this cover is if you did one featuring Halle Berry as Storm kissing the Jimmy Olsen of CW's "Supergirl" series!

In one issue of 'All-Star Superman' (written by Grant Morrison) -- he was given one day in charge of a high-tech research establishment on the moon, and used this position to have that message temporarily displayed across the full moon's surface. It worked. :)
(That story had also included on of his transformations, but on this occasion it wasn't into a werewolf -- or even a giant turtle-man -- it was into a version of Doomsday!

Well, of course Rahne would never get into a catfight. She's a wolf, not a cat.

PS: Agreeing with Anon@10:39 that a Halle Berry/Mehcad Brooks cover of Storm and Guardian would be awesome! Unlikely, yes, but still awesome.
