A partir de 1952 começou a ser exibida a série de televisão <span>[[Adventures of Superman (série)|Adventures of Superman]], que logo conquistou grande popularidade. No elenco, o ator </span>Jack Larson aparecia regularmente como "Jimmy Olsen", e o jovem repórter se tornou um dos personagens mais populares do programa. A National Comics Publications, editora que antecedeu a DC Comics, então decidiria criar uma revista em quadrinhos dedicada a Jimmy<ref>''[[Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman]]'' (2006)</ref>.

When [[Jack Kirby]] began working at DC in 1970, he insisted on this title since it was the lowest selling in the publishing line and without assigned talent at the time so he wouldn't cost someone their job.<ref>{{cite book|last = Evanier|first = Mark|authorlink = Mark Evanier|chapter= Afterword|title = Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus ''Volume 1''|publisher = DC Comics|year = 2007|pages = |isbn = 978-1401213442}}</ref><ref>McAvennie, Michael "1970s" in Dolan, p. 141: "Since no ongoing creative team had been slated to ''Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen'', "King of Comics" Jack Kirby made the title his DC launch point, and the writer/artist's indelible energy and ideas permeated every panel and word balloon of the comic."</ref> During his run, Kirby introduced many memorable characters, notably the Fourth World's [[Novos Deuses|New Gods]], [[Darkseid]], Project Cadmus and Transilvane.<ref>{{cite book |authorlink= Paul Levitz|last=Levitz|first= Paul|chapter= The Bronze Age 1970-1984|title= 75 Years of DC Comics The Art of Modern Mythmaking|publisher= [[Taschen|Taschen America]]|year=2010|ISBN= 9783836519816|page= 447|quote= Kirby began introducing new elements to the DC Universe, building toward the introduction of a trio of new titles based on a complex mythology he called the Fourth World.}}</ref> He also reintroduced the [[Newsboy Legion]] and [[Guardian (DC Comics)|the Guardian]].

In 1958, a second title was introduced, ''[[Lois Lane (revista em quadrinhos)|Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane]]'', which revolves around another supporting character in a similar fashion. Both titles ended in 1974 by merging into ''Superman Family''. The new series would continue the numbering from ''Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen''.<ref>McAvennie "1970s" in Dolan, p. 159 "DC's 100-page Super Spectaculars were proving popular, so DC said goodbye to ''Supergirl'', ''Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen'', ''Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane'', and housed the characters together in ''Superman Family''. Continuing the numbering from where ''Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen'' ended, the series featured classic reprints with new tales in the lead spot."</ref>
