“The Birdboy of Metropolis”

In "The Birdboy of Metropolis," Jimmy Olsen stumbles upon a mysterious Kryptonian cabinet that transforms anyone who enters it in wildly unpredictable ways—turning Jimmy into an old man, Perry into a baby, and Lois into a feline-headed woman. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with lettering by Joe Letterese, this 1970 DC classic blends surreal humor and sci-fi whimsy, all anchored by a clever twist involving the mischievous Mr. Mxyzptlk. The cover, by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson, captures the zany energy of the tale.
