“The Gorilla Reporter”

Late Silver Age DC delivers one of its most wonderfully strange premises with this 1968 issue featuring "The Gorilla Reporter." Curt Swan and Mike Esposito's cover says it all: Superman swoops in looking baffled as Jimmy Olsen swings from a tree like an ape, while a gorilla in a suit and hat — clutching a camera — insists he's the real Jimmy Olsen trapped in the wrong body. Writer Dave Wood and artist Pete Costanza bring their talents to the interior tale of mistaken identity gone gloriously primate.
