In "Luthor's Pal, Jimmy Olsen!", Jimmy Olsen’s life takes a bizarre turn after he accidentally eats a space fruit and sprouts four extra arms—much to his initial delight. But when the new limbs bring unexpected trouble, including a heartbreaking rejection from Lucy and a forced stint as a pickpocket, Jimmy turns to Superman for help. Written by Robert Bernstein and brought to life with Curt Swan’s expressive art and John Forte’s inks, this 1968 adventure features a delightfully absurd twist, with Neal Adams’ dynamic cover capturing the chaos perfectly.
