Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #102

One of Silver Age DC's most entertainingly absurd cover scenarios plays out right here in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #102 (1967): a straitjacketed, wild-eyed Jimmy Olsen frantically insists to Superman and a clipboard-toting doctor that Superman is secretly Clark Kent, while a uniformed guard looks on from the doorway — and nobody in the room believes a word of it. Curt Swan's pencils and George Klein's inks sell the scene with wonderful clarity, capturing Jimmy's desperate mid-kick struggle against his restraints alongside Superman's coolly impassive expression. Featuring the story "Superman's Greatest Double-Cross!" with writing by Leo Dorfman and interior art by Pete Costanza, this issue delivers the kind of delightfully twisted premise that made the Jimmy Olsen title such a fan favorite throughout the 1960s.
