Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #31

In "The E-L-A-S-T-I-C Lad," Jimmy Olsen takes a whimsical turn as he interviews a collector of legendary hats—Napoleon, Robin Hood, even a London Bobby—and spins a playful prank that sets off a chain of astonishing feats. With a mix of bold imagination and Superman’s quiet guidance, Jimmy channels the powers of history’s most famous hat-wearers, from acrobatic escapes to daring rescues, all while chasing down crooks and uncovering secrets. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life with Curt Swan’s crisp art and Ray Burnley’s dynamic inks, this 1958 classic features a cover by Curt Swan and Al Plastino, capturing Jimmy’s zany transformation in vivid detail.
