“The Super-Brain of Jimmy Olsen”

This 80-page Giant from 1968 proudly bills itself as the "Shock-Filled Anti-Superman Issue," and the cover — penciled by Ross Andru and inked by Mike Esposito — delivers on that promise with a striking central image of Jimmy Olsen snapping photos of Clark Kent tearing open his shirt to reveal the Superman costume beneath. Four surrounding vignettes tease the mayhem inside, including giant ants menacing the Man of Steel, Superman knocked cold in a boxing ring, a villain wielding some kind of ray device, and a helmeted figure turning Superman against his allies. With a bottom banner promising "The Betrayal of Superman," this oversized issue frames Jimmy — usually the sidekick — as the surprising wild card in his own best pal's world.
