Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Betrayal of Superman," Superman and Jimmy Olsen head to Smallville for Superboy Day, where Jimmy dons the iconic costume to reenact Superboy’s legendary feats. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with Curt Swan’s crisp art and Ray Burnley’s precise inks, this 1955 classic captures the charm and wonder of a bygone era. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye perfectly frames the moment, hinting at the tension simmering beneath the celebration.
On Superboy Day in Smallville, Jimmy Olsen trades his reporter’s hat for a cape, stepping into the legendary boots of Superboy for a day. With Superman watching from the sidelines and the town buzzing with nostalgia, Jimmy takes on a series of heroic stunts—just as the young Kryptonian once did—while Cal Trent, the museum’s custodian, keeps a close eye on the past.
