Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #4

A charming slice of Silver Age fun, this March–April 1955 issue features Jimmy Olsen — crown on his head, royal robes draped over his shoulders, and a thought bubble bursting with kingly delight — seated on an ornate throne while a waiter lifts a silver platter nearby. Superman himself peers around a heavy curtain with quiet alertness, while a suspicious mustachioed figure lurking in the shadows suggests Jimmy's royal holiday may not stay carefree for long. Cover pencils by Curt Swan and inks by Stan Kaye give the scene a warm, storybook energy that makes "King For a Day!" an irresistible premise for any fan of the era's lighthearted DC adventures.
