☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Boy Who Hoaxed Superman," Jimmy Olsen accidentally turns himself into a giant turtle-man after firing an enlarging ray-gun through a turtle, leading to a bizarre rampage of collecting steel and dumping it into a volcanic island. Superman is called in to stop the chaos, but it's Lori Lemaris who reveals the truth: an Atlantean criminal used the ray-gun to control Jimmy telepathically, all part of a scheme to safeguard buried pirate treasure. With Curt Swan’s expressive art and Jerry Siegel’s classic storytelling, this 1967 tale blends sci-fi whimsy and underwater intrigue, all wrapped in a cover by Swan and Klein that captures Jimmy’s towering, shell-covered form in striking detail.
In a clever twist of workplace mischief, Jimmy Olsen sets out to trick Perry White into giving him a raise by faking his resignation and hiring a fake replacement—Gilbert Knox—only to sabotage the impostor and return to his job with a better deal. With Superman keeping a watchful eye from the sidelines and Miss Jenkins caught in the crossfire, chaos brews as Jimmy’s elaborate scheme begins to unravel in ways he never expected.
In "The Super-Lad of Space!", Jimmy Olsen takes a wild ride when he sneaks aboard an engineless rocket launched by Superman, only to crash-land on a distant planet where he gains super-powers and finally lives out his superhero dreams. But with no way to hide his identity—everyone just calls him Jimmy Olsen—the thrill of being a hero comes with a very public secret.
When Jimmy Olsen accidentally drinks a potion left by Merlin, he transforms into a Wolf-Man every night—only a kiss from a beautiful maiden can break the curse. As he struggles to hide his secret from Lucy Lane, Superman steps in to help him find a willing heart, leading them through a costume party, a rooftop garden, and a mysterious horror film set where every mask might be hiding a truth.
When Superman presents Jimmy Olsen with a mysterious alien trophy, the prankster's curiosity leads to a mind-bending swap: Jimmy ends up in Superman’s body, and Superman in Jimmy’s. As the two navigate each other’s lives—from the Daily Planet newsroom to the skies above Metropolis—they gain surprising insight into one another’s worlds. But when Jimmy, now in Superman’s body, stumbles upon the truth behind the Man of Steel’s secret identity, the discovery sets off a chain of revelations neither expected.
When Jimmy Olsen accidentally turns himself into a giant turtle-man using a mysterious ray-gun, his sudden obsession with gathering steel objects leads him to a volcanic island—where Superman must intervene. With help from Lori Lemaris, who reveals the device was crafted by an Atlantean criminal to safeguard buried pirate treasure, Superman works to free Jimmy from telepathic control and restore him to normal size.
When Lois Lane accidentally serves Professor Potter’s elastic serum to both Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen, the resulting chaos turns Jimmy into Elastic Lad—stretching and bouncing through Metropolis with wild abandon. Superman must think fast to keep his secret identity safe while managing Jimmy’s newfound powers and the growing attention from Perry White, Lois, and even a passing group of cowboys.
When Superman is away on a mission in the past, the Superman Emergency Squad springs into action after Supergirl inadvertently leaves a trace of her presence in Metropolis—prompting a frantic effort to erase the evidence before it draws unwanted attention. With Jimmy Olsen and the Jimmy Olsen Fan Club caught in the middle, and Lois Lane and Perry White watching closely, the team must navigate the chaos of a secret identity in peril.
When Jimmy Olsen dons the ceremonial garb of an island witch doctor, he’s just having fun—until his playful jabbing of voodoo dolls seems to send sudden pains through Lois Lane and Perry White. With Superman and Lucy Lane watching in disbelief, Jimmy’s prank takes a strange turn as the line between joke and something more begins to blur.
