“The Human Octopus!”

In "The Human Octopus!", Jimmy Olsen finds himself with a bizarre new set of limbs after a chance encounter with a space fruit—turning his life upside down in more ways than one. Written by Robert Bernstein and brought to life with Curt Swan’s expressive art and John Forte’s crisp inks, this 1959 adventure sees Jimmy struggling to adapt as his new arms bring unexpected complications. Cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the zany tone perfectly.
