Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #118

Few covers capture the turbulent spirit of 1969 quite like this one — Neal Adams renders a visibly battered, pie-spattered Superman surrounded by a crowd of protesters waving signs reading "Superman Is a Freak-Out!," "We Hate Superman," and "We Hate Money!" as a flamboyantly dressed, red-bearded figure confronts him from the left. Superman's pained speech bubble — "I thought you were my pal, Jimmy! Why have you joined this hippie gang against me?" — sets up the featured story, "Hippie Olsen's Hate-In!," with a delightfully outrageous premise rooted squarely in the counterculture moment. Adams' cover work is energetic and expressive, making this DC curio one of the more amusingly time-stamped entries in the Jimmy Olsen run.
