Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #106 – Jimmy’s Elastic Lad Heroics!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #106 (October 1967), by Jim Shooter with Al Plastino’s art, is a vibrant Silver Age crossover. The Legion of Super-Heroes summons Jimmy Olsen to the 30th Century to write for the Legion Bulletin. Using his Elastic Lad powers, Jimmy feels ineffective, unaware he’s saving a child-robot, cracking a “burglarproof” safe, and capturing the Uniform Gang. Duo Damsel documents his unsung feats for the Bulletin, proving his worth. Superman makes a brief appearance, tying Jimmy’s adventure to his legacy. A backup story features Jimmy in a Kryptonian artifact mishap.
