Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #84 – Jimmy’s Monster Movie Madness!
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #84 (April 1965), by Leo Dorfman with George Papp’s art, is a wild Silver Age tale. A Hollywood producer challenges Jimmy Olsen to create a horror movie, prompting him to orchestrate a colossal spectacle. Using advanced tech, Jimmy teleports Titano, the giant super-ape, and a Kryptonian flame-dragon to a remote island for an epic battle, filming their clash as the ultimate monster flick. The plan spirals into chaos as the creatures’ rampage threatens disaster, forcing Superman to intervene to save Jimmy and contain the beasts. The resulting footage wows the producer, but Jimmy learns the risks of playing director with cosmic creatures. A backup story involves Jimmy gaining temporary super-vision powers.
