“Disappearing Act!”

Love is in the air over Metropolis in this June 1985 issue, as the cover — penciled by Howard Bender and inked by Jerry Ordway — fills every corner with floating pink hearts and swooning couples. Center stage, Superman sweeps a dark-haired woman into a romantic mid-air embrace, while two heart-shaped frames spotlight additional couples leaning in for kisses — one framing a grinning, freckled young man who can only be Jimmy Olsen. The cover copy promises romance for Superman, Jimmy, and Lois as Jimmy takes on the unlikely role of "Amazing Matchmaker of Metropolis," making this a genuinely charming change of pace from the usual super-powered fireworks.

Jimmy Olsen thinks he has a match-making computer from the future, and finds mates for himself, Lois and Superman. But it turns out to just be a thought-actualizer, and the mates aren't real people.
