Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #132 – Jimmy’s Identity Mix-Up!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #132 (September 1970), by Leo Dorfman with Curt Swan’s art, is a tense Bronze Age tale. Gangsters kidnap Jimmy Olsen, demanding Superman’s secret identity. To mislead them, Jimmy claims his editor, Perry White, is Superman, knowing it’s false. Unbeknownst to him, Clark Kent is editor for the day, and the crooks capture him, using Kryptonite to weaken the real Superman. Jimmy’s quick thinking and resourcefulness help him escape and alert allies, leading to a dramatic rescue where Superman overcomes the Kryptonite trap and apprehends the gangsters. A backup story features Jimmy in a sci-fi gadget blunder.
