Tom's week with Jimmy Olson number eight or let's end this on a creepy note.

Hi, everyone, welcome back.

Today we're talking about Superman's super rival.

Originally printed in Superman's pal Jimmy Olson number 37, written by Bill Finger,

penciled by Kurt Swan, inked by Jam-Forte, edited by Mort Wisinger.

And we're ending this Jimmy Olson adventure with the creepiest, weirdest story we've done so

far.

We begin, Jimmy Olson, in the Daily Planet Flying Newsroom.

He's off-covering stories.

He's zipping around.

He loses control of the flying newsroom. The controls are not responding. Sounds like someone's trying to kill Jimmy Olson. We don't deal with that in this, but I'm going to assume it's Perry White. He's lost control of the flying newsroom. It's heading straight towards the Superman Lighthouse. He's going to crash into it. What does Jimmy Olson do? Uses his signal watch to signal Superman. Just as Jimmy's about to crash in to the lighthouse,

the entire lighthouse is picked up, the newsroom flies through it, Jimmy's able to regain control.

You see, it was a shadowy figure that picked up the statue. We assumed that it's Superman. So did Jimmy Olson,

and as Jimmy Olson climbs out of the flying newsroom, he's surprised to see this figure

clad completely in bandages, like a mummy of some sort. Jimmy wants to know why Superman's all

wrapped up in bandages, but this figure says he's not Superman, but he does have every power that

Superman has. And at this

moment, Superman comes flying in, Superman would have been late. Jimmy Helson would have been died,

is what we've learned from this. Superman says he saw what was going on and got there as fast as he could,

but this figure beat him to the scene. And his Superman is obviously suspicious of the figure dressed all in bandages,

tries to use his x-ray vision to see what's going on. But this, uh, this mysterious figure has

dipped his bandages with lead, he's coated the bandages with lead, which seems like a lot of trouble
