Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #62
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Superman's Phantom Pal!", Jimmy Olsen takes a sick day—literally—sending his robot double to cover his duties at the Daily Planet. With Curt Swan’s smooth art and George Klein’s crisp inks bringing the action to life, the story follows the robot’s increasingly bizarre run of bad luck, all while Jimmy recovers at home. The cover by Swan and Moldoff captures the eerie charm of the mechanical stand-in, setting up a tale where even the most reliable tech can’t escape the unexpected.
When Jimmy Olsen temporarily gains Elastic Lad's powers, he ventures into the Phantom Zone—where he’s drawn into a mysterious encounter that could finally reveal Superman’s secret identity, all while the Dagger Gang and a trio of imprisoned villains from the Zone stir up trouble.
When Jimmy Olsen falls ill, he sends his robot double to cover his duties at the Daily Planet—only to find the mechanical stand-in is struggling with a string of increasingly bizarre mishaps. With Lucy Lane, Lois Lane, and Perry White watching closely, even Superman [Clark Kent] starts to wonder if the robot’s glitches are more than just technical trouble.
