Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #130 – Brainiac’s Sinister Superman Robot!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #130 (July 1970), by Leo Dorfman with Curt Swan’s art, is a gripping Bronze Age tale. Brainiac, the malevolent android, executes a devious plan to transfer his vast intelligence into a Superman robot, using Jimmy Olsen as an unwitting pawn. The scheme threatens the shrunken city of Kandor, imperiling its Kryptonian inhabitants.
