Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #161

In "The Olsen Experiment," Jimmy Olsen stumbles into a bizarre mystery while exploring an abandoned armory, accidentally triggering a strange virus sealed within a glass globe. The infection causes any man-made material near him to disintegrate, turning his usual gadgets and gear into dust—and leaving him stranded in a world where even his own clothes are at risk. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with a striking cover by Nick Cardy, this 1973 DC classic finds the Daily Planet photographer facing a threat that turns his own tools against him.
