Condor-Superhelden #18

In the ruins of a post-nuclear New York, a boy born of radiation’s aftermath awakens with the strength of ten men. Raised in the shadow of his mother’s death, he carries her final plea: to use his power to protect the weak. As he steps into a world still reeling from catastrophe, he joins forces with Mindor, a scholar seeking wisdom in the old world’s wreckage, and his daughter Sharmaine, forging an unlikely alliance to bring hope to the forgotten.

In the ruins of an ancient armory, Samson, Sharmaine, and Mindor uncover long-forgotten rifles—weapons that could change their fate. When an antlered gorilla attacks, Mindor’s sudden skill with the rifle turns the tide, but their discovery draws the deadly attention of Kull and his gang. Trapped and interrogated, the trio must find a way to escape before the armory’s secrets are lost forever—literally, when Samson’s desperate move collapses the roof, burying the rifles beneath tons of rubble.

In "Überfall auf N'Yark," Terra of Jerz, guardian of a hidden sanctuary built by her ancestors after the atomic war, takes captive the outlaw Kull and his gang, imprisoning them in her high-tech flying fortress. With her advanced science and dwindling power, she seeks atomic batteries to keep her refuge alive—only to find herself in a deadly race against the relentless Samson and the cunning Mindor, who have their own designs on the precious energy source.

In "Das geheimnisvolle Mädchen," Samson journeys to Jerz through perilous terrain, driven by a mission to stop the ruthless Kull and his gang. There, he encounters Terra, a mysterious figure wielding an electroprod who offers him power and partnership—but Samson refuses, steadfast in his vow to protect the vulnerable. When Kull unleashes a monstrous threat, Samson fights it to victory, then turns back to save Terra when she’s in danger, ultimately returning to N'Yark with his resolve intact.

In "Gefahr aus der Vergangenheit," Samson and his friends uncover Dr. John Pitt, a scientist frozen since the nuclear war, only to find he’s a self-serving coward. With the fate of everyone in N'Yark hanging in the balance, they press him to help stop a dangerous release of ancient chemicals before it’s too late.

In "Verzweifelter Versuch," Dr. Pitt leads a desperate mission to the toxic leak site using ancient vehicles, racing against time to neutralize a deadly radioactive threat. As tensions rise, Sharmaine—secretly aboard a fleeing helicopter—confronts him, forcing a final, irreversible choice. With the fate of the group hanging in the balance, Dr. Pitt must face the consequence he’s long outrun.

In "Auf der Jagd nach Metall," Thorr and his raiders descend on N'Yark in search of scrap metal, dismantling the ruins of the Statue of Liberty as they go. They take Sharmaine and Mindor captive, transporting them to Greenland, where a new society has risen from the thawing ice, built on geothermal energy and advanced metalworking. There, Thorr forces Mindor to serve his ambitions and demands Sharmaine become his queen. Meanwhile, Samson secretly stows away on one of Thorr’s ships, only to be discovered and cast overboard.

In "Im finsteren Verlies," Samson, stranded in the icy reaches of Greenland, is thrust into a brutal gladiatorial arena to win Sharmaine's freedom. Forced to battle three monstrous foes, he emerges victorious—only to face betrayal when Thorr refuses to honor the deal. With the stakes rising, Mindor ignites a rebellion, leading to Thorr’s desperate flight and downfall. As Greenland and N'Yark begin to rebuild their alliance, the stolen fragments of the Statue of Liberty are returned, marking a fragile new beginning.

In the heart of Manhattan, geysers spewing radioactive gas erupt without warning, threatening the city. Mindor teams up with Vaxar, a scientist rescued from the flooded Hudson, to develop a quenching spray—but their efforts are thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of Oggar, a massive mutant man-animal whose violent transformations may be tied to Vaxar’s own unraveling state.

In "Der doppelte Gegner," a hidden identity threatens to unravel the final showdown as Samson races to stop Vaxar’s dangerous plan to harness the death geysers through a lightning rod system—only to face a shocking revelation when Sharmaine uncovers the truth behind Oggar’s interference. With tensions rising and the Empire State Building as their final battleground, the line between ally and enemy blurs in a clash that could decide everything.

In "Das Satellitensterben," Mindor retrieves a computer from a fallen satellite, only to grow uneasy as more hurtle from orbit. When he learns Terra of Jerz is using a magnetic weapon to pull them down for salvage, he agrees to help—until he uncovers her true plan to weaponize a weather-control satellite.

In "Monster aus dem All," spores from Terra's satellites awaken a colossal vacuum entity that begins ravaging N'Yark. With the city under siege and Terra's magnetic weapon destroyed, Sharmaine devises a desperate plan while Samson prepares to carry it out—before the monster consumes everything.

In "Der Eindringling," an android posing as Gail infiltrates Atom Valley, sowing chaos while Nuro watches from the shadows. When Solar arrives as the Man of the Atom to stop the sabotage, he’s outmatched—overpowered by the impostor and taken captive.
