Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #111 – Jimmy’s Mystery Analyst Masquerade!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #111 (June 1968), by E. Nelson Bridwell with Pete Costanza’s art, is a clever Silver Age caper. After the Mystery Analysts of Gotham City reject Jimmy Olsen’s membership bid, he convinces Robin to let him impersonate him for a few days. Disguised as the Boy Wonder, Jimmy aims to solve crimes so impressively that the Analysts will vote him in. His deception leads to thrilling detective work, battling Gotham crooks, and navigating close calls to keep his identity hidden. Superman and Batman monitor the ruse, ensuring Jimmy’s safety. Jimmy’s gambit pays off, earning him a shot at membership. A backup story features Jimmy as a “Super-Chameleon” after a lab accident.
