Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #49
In "Jimmy's Gorilla Identity!", Jimmy Olsen finds himself hilariously transformed into a massive, gorilla-like figure by the scheming Dr. Rance, who uses the disguise to smuggle jewels into the country. With Curt Swan’s expressive art and John Forte’s crisp inks bringing the absurd premise to life, the issue delivers classic 1960s humor and suspense. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the zany spectacle perfectly.
