“The Kid with the Golden Touch!”

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #73 brings a gleaming twist to the DC Universe with the story "The Kid with the Golden Touch!" — and the cover by Curt Swan and George Klein lays it all out in delightful, gilded detail. Jimmy Olsen stands center stage, his hand outstretched with an unmistakable golden glow, while a wide-eyed bystander marvels that his cigar has been turned to solid gold and Superman looks on with a mix of concern and fascination — surrounded by a table full of newly golden objects, including what appears to be a nameplate reading "J. Olsen." It's a wonderfully imaginative 1963 DC premise that puts Superman's freckle-faced pal in the middle of a very shiny problem he's clearly convinced he has under control.
