Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #47 (September 1960), by Otto Binder with Curt Swan’s art, is a quirky Silver Age tale.

Expecting respect, he instead faces new troubles—adulthood brings unexpected challenges, from job pressures to social mishaps. His quest to prove himself leads to comedic chaos, with Superman stepping in to help. The issue also includes Jimmy posing as gangster Winky McCoy and a sci-fi robot sequel plot.
