Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #67

From 1963, this DC gem features a genuinely unsettling premise right on its cover: Jimmy Olsen confronts Verro the Super-Ventriloquist, whose eerily lifelike Superman dummy appears to have taken on a life of its own — pointing a gun and threatening to steal Jimmy's very identity. Curt Swan and George Klein deliver a cover that captures the scene with crisp, Silver Age clarity, balancing menace and absurdity in that wonderfully earnest way only this era could pull off. "The Dummy That Haunted Jimmy Olsen!" promises the kind of imaginative, off-kilter storytelling that made Superman's Pal a standout title on any 1963 spinner rack.
