“Love Me, Love My Beast!”

In "Love Me, Love My Beast!", Jimmy Olsen finds himself in a desperate situation when the Anti-Superman Gang puts a bounty on his head, forcing him to rely on a partial dose of Chameleon Boy’s power-duplicating serum. With only his head capable of shifting shape, Jimmy must use his new, bizarre ability to outwit his pursuers—until Superman’s return offers a much-needed reprieve. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by John Forte, with inks by George Klein and letters by Milt Snapinn, this 1965 adventure features Curt Swan’s iconic cover art and Sheldon Moldoff’s inks, capturing the quirky, high-stakes charm of a classic DC tale.

Under threat from thugs trying to collect a bounty the Anti-Superman Gang has put on his head, Jimmy takes only a partial dose of a serum Chameleon Boy gave him to duplicate his powers, and finds that he can only modify the appearance of his head. But that proves to be enough to evade several attempts on his life until Superman returns from outer space and can protect him.
