Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #99
In "The One-Man Legion! Part 1," Jimmy Olsen gets an out-of-this-world birthday gift when the Legion of Super-Heroes sends him three powered costumes—each with its own unique ability. When the Weapons Wizard kidnaps him and strands him on a remote island, Jimmy dons the Lightning Lad suit and discovers he’s got more than just a costume on his side. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Pete Costanza, with covers by Curt Swan and George Klein, this 1967 DC classic blends sci-fi adventure with the everyday charm of a newspaper reporter turned temporary superhero.
