Notes
- "The Son of Jimmy Olsen!" was published as an Imaginary Story, a story outside of regular continuity. In Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium, almost all imaginary stories were retconned as having happened on other Earths in the Multiverse, but this one was not.
- The fact that Jimmy Jr. and Lola are first cousins (their mothers are sisters) is mentioned nowhere in this story, and is not presented as an obstacle to their romance.
