In "The Specter of the Haunted House!", Jerry Siegel spins a delightfully whimsical tale where the mischievous Mxyzptlk, smitten with Lucy Lane, finds his affections unreturned. In a playful yet perilous twist, his frustration leads him to curse Jimmy Olsen into a werewolf transformation every full moon—leaving the Daily Planet’s star reporter to navigate both his new beastly form and the chaos it brings. Curt Swan’s expressive art, with Stan Kaye’s crisp inks, brings the supernatural shenanigans to life, while the cover by Swan and Kaye captures the eerie charm of the story’s haunted-house mystery.
