Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen 1954 #103 - back issue - $4.00

Superman confronts Jimmy over the murder of Clark Kent, while Jimmy holds a Gamma Weapon behind his back ready to strike at the Man of Steel.

Jimmy is brainwashed by an organization called "Assassins Anonymous" into killing Superman with an elaborate death trap that involves Kryptonite, time travel, and Mount Everest. But, to prove he is up to the task, he must first kill his co-worker, Clark Kent, by more conventional means.

Text article focusing on Jimmy Olsen's other super-pals, mostly encountered through time travel or visits to other planets.

• The Murder of Clark Kent! - Last cover of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen to feature DC's well-remembered Go-Go Checks. See Note on DC's house ad for Jimmy Olsen #104, indexed below.
• The Murder of Clark Kent! - The signature "Costanza" is seen on a board from the undersea wreckage of a wooden crate.
• Jimmy Olsen's Super-Pals - Between pages 4 and 5 of previous story.
• Make Your Summer Count! - Published in cooperation with the National Social Welfare Assembly. Between pages 9 and 10 of previous story.
• - DC house ad for Jimmy Olsen. Reproduces the cover illustration for Jimmy Olsen (DC, 1954 series) #104 (August-September 1967). Ad runs vertically on full page. Between pages 9 and 10 of previous story. The reproduction of the cover of Jimmy Olsen #104 shows the issue as having Go-Go Checks, but the actual comic does not. Perhaps this ad was assembled before the decision to discontinue the Go-Go Checks was made or finalized.
• - Between pages 15 and 16 of previous story.
• - DC house ad for Batman. Reproduces the cover illustration for Batman (DC, 1940 series) #193 (July-August 1967). Between pages 15 and 16 of previous story. Unlike the ad for Jimmy Olsen #104 above, the cover reproduction of Batman #193 shows the issue as having Go-Go Checks - and the actual comic displays the Go-Go Checks as well. #194 was the first issue of Batman without Go-Go Checks. An earlier cover date (by one month) for Batman #193, vs. Jimmy Olsen #104, may account for the presence of Go-Go Checks on the former.
