Synopsis for "Jimmy Olsen, Wolf-Man"
This story is reprinted from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #52.
Mr. Mxyzptlk arrives on Earth, fleeing from his girlfriend, Miss Gzptlsnz, on her birthday. He sees Jimmy Olsen with Lucy Lane, and falls head-over-heels for Lucy. Unfortunately, Lucy won't throw Jimmy over for Mxyzptlk, which is a complete change of character for her. Thus, to get revenge, Mxyzptlk causes Jimmy to drink Merlin's wolf-man potion again. However, he first changes the potion to water, and causes Jimmy to gain the wolf-man face and hair by his magic alone. Not even a kiss from "Miss X" (Supergirl in a darkened room) can rid him of the curse this time. Lucy, Lois Lane, Lori Lemaris, and Lana Lang all try their kisses, but none do any good. Finally, Miss Gzptlsnz appears on Earth, having seen what happened, and steals away Jimmy's curse with her kiss. When Mxyzptlk appears, she tricks him into saying his name backwards, and then follows him, promising Jimmy she will nag Mxyzptlk unmercifully for 90 days. Later, Jimmy tries to get another kiss from Lucy, who refuses, saying he's gotten enough kisses lately to last him for months.
