In "The Spendthrift and the Miser," a mix-up with a magical pill sends Jimmy Olsen soaring to towering heights—literally—while stuck with a child's mind. With Superman racing to find the cure, the situation grows ever more absurd as Jimmy's newfound size and innocence turn everyday moments into wild, unpredictable adventures. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Curt Swan, with inks by Ray Burnley, the cover by Swan and Stan Kaye captures the story's whimsical scale.

In a wild twist of fate, Jimmy Olsen is hurled into the distant future when Superman’s super-speed during a hurricane sends his helicopter through the time barrier. There, he discovers a shocking truth: in this far-off year, he’s infamous as the man who killed Superman using kryptonite. Now branded a criminal, he’s captured by future authorities and sent back to the 20th century to face trial for a crime he doesn’t remember committing.
