Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #108 – Jimmy’s Million-Dollar Challenge!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #108 (January 1968), by Leo Dorfman with Pete Costanza’s art, is a madcap Silver Age adventure. Jimmy Olsen learns he’ll inherit a million dollars from a deceased playboy he once criticized, but only if he can spend another million in 24 hours. Racing against the clock, Jimmy splurges on extravagant purchases—yachts, jewels, and charities—while dodging scams and greedy opportunists. Superman keeps an eye on the frenzy, ensuring Jimmy stays safe. The spending spree spirals into comedic chaos, but Jimmy meets the deadline, only to face a surprising twist about the inheritance. A backup story features Jimmy as a “Super-Sleeper” after a lab accident.
