Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #108

Few comic covers capture Silver Age absurdity as warmly as this one: Jimmy Olsen kneels desperately amid towering mountains of cash, pleading for Superman's help spending a million dollars in 24 hours — while a coolly arms-folded Man of Steel refuses to let him spend "even one thin dime." The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein turns a wonderfully ridiculous premise into an instantly irresistible image, with bills raining down around both figures like a green blizzard. "The Midas of Metropolis!" promises exactly the kind of breezy, high-stakes comedy that made this title such a delight in 1968.
