Dæmonen #16
"Dette er retfærdighed" in Dæmonen #16 (1967) delivers a darkly whimsical tale of ambition and consequence, written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, whose distinctive art brings the story’s eerie tone to life. When a desperate, bald actor seeks a magical potion to gain fame, he’s warned of its perilous side effects—only to ignore the warning and drink it, only to find his newfound hair turns him into a circus attraction. The cover, by John Romita and Frank Giacoia, captures the story’s unsettling twist with a striking, surreal image.
In "Dette er retfærdighed," the Plunderer wields the mystical Plunder-Stone to seize control of the world, forcing Ka-Zar’s ally DD to intervene. Meanwhile, Foggy and Karen arrive in England to stand by Ka-Zar as his brother levels false charges against him.
In "Tru aldrig en troldmand!", a desperate, bald actor desperate for fame turns to a witchman for a magical potion to transform his career—only to discover that the price of stardom is a shocking, uncontrollable growth of hair. When he demands the potion by force, the witchman reluctantly complies, but the result is a new kind of humiliation: a once-ordinary man now trapped in the circus as a freak. The story unfolds with a darkly ironic twist, blending dread and absurdity in a brief, unsettling tale of ambition and consequence.
When a down-on-his-luck actor stumbles upon a derelict spaceship with a lifeless pilot inside, he sees a chance to pull off the ultimate scam—using the ship to trick the authorities into thinking he's a real alien. But the craft isn’t just a wreck—it’s a trap, and the aliens who sent it have a far more sinister plan than he ever imagined.
