☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
When Congo Bill arrives in Metropolis searching for his missing companion Congorilla, he turns to Jimmy Olsen for help—only to find the city’s streets already buzzing with confusion. With the Red Knights on the case and two cops, Al and Ed, keeping a close eye on things, Jimmy’s knack for getting into trouble might just be the key to uncovering the truth behind Congorilla’s disappearance.
In "The Fat Boy of Metropolis!", Jimmy Olsen finds himself hilariously and unexpectedly transformed into a giant—thanks to Dr. Rance’s bizarre scheme—just as a phony Maharajah of Bohali tries to pull off a daring jewel heist. When the impostor’s cover begins to slip, the real Maharajah of Bohali and the Montaines step in, turning the tables on the crooked doctor and his outrageous plan.
