Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #152

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #152 hits a tense note right on the cover, where Jimmy Olsen crouches over a fallen Superman, asking "Who are they... why did they do this to you?" — while a menacing, heavily mechanized robot looms large in the foreground. The contrast between Jimmy's concern for his vulnerable hero and that hulking machine creates an unsettling, dramatic tableau, rendered with sharp detail by cover artists Mike Sekowsky and Bob Oksner. This September 1972 issue promises "All New Stories," including the intriguingly titled "The Double-Edged Sword," from the creative team of E. Nelson Bridwell, Steve Skeates, Mike Sekowsky, Bob Oksner, and Milt Snapinn.
