Today we go back to the April 1956 issue #53 of "Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen" for a suitably goofy story with some dinosaurs in it. The story's by Otto Binder with art (pencils) by Curt Swan.

The cover at the start of the post has nothing to do with the story -- in fact it's from a different issue -- but it's more interesting than the one for the book that the story is from. Above right is the July 1940 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories that the JO cover was "borrowed" from.
