Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "Superman Meets Jerry" Conclusion

...wait a minute!
Why does Lex Luthor have hair...and a moustache?
Especially considering Superman's arch-enemy doesn't have them inside the comic or in the ad that ran in other DC Comics?
Interestingly, Lex's wearing the colors he would adapt for his costume and battle-armor in the 1970s-80s!
And, yes, that's a Al Plastino-rendered Superman flying above Bob Oksner's Luthor and Jerry!
As to the plot...if you have to ask the plotline to any Jerry Lewis movie (except King of Comedy), you're obviously not a Jerry Lewis fan!
But here goes...
Due to Luthor's machinations,  an overworked Superman's costume is coated with kryptonite dust.
When the Man of Steel discovers the reason for his ongoing weakness, he removes the costume and stows it in the hamper of an interviewee, Jerry's nephew Renfrew, whom he's interviewing as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent!
Jerry discovers the suit, puts it on.
Luthor shows up.
Take it from there...
It didn't make much sense, but it was fun!

Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "Superman Meets Jerry" Part 1

It ain't exactly "When Titans Clash"...
...but it is a never-reprinted Silver Age meeting of two pop culture icons!
Are you ROTFL(your)AO yet?
Written by Arnold Drake, illustrated by Bob Oksner (with some modifications by Al Plastino) this non-canon tale from DC's Adventures of Jerry Lewis #105 (1968) solidifies what became an annual tradition from 1967 to 1970...Jerry meeting up with an established DC superstar!
We've previously run Lewis' encounters with The Flash and Wonder Woman, and next week we'll present the one that started this whole thing...the superstar comic's meeting with the 1960s Batman & Robin!
