Although he and his pal are holding each other closely in a very hetero way. I'm confused. I had no idea that artists in the 50's and 60's defied the Comics Code like this!!

Deep down, he knew he was right, and he knew that there was no way he could return to him. With nowhere else to go, he appeared on Earth, at the home of his "pal" Jimmy Olsen. Several years earlier, Olsen's "pal" Lex Luthor had thrown HIM out, requesting that HE never return.
