Gigant #6/1985
In "En vacker tjej som sprider ... pest!", Åklagare Adrian Chase fights to shield the Teen Titans from murder charges, but when Starfire’s sister Blackfire—also known as Komand'r—appears, the situation spirals. Kidnapped by the villainous Citadel, Starfire vanishes, leaving the team to fail in their rescue attempt before being pulled from the void by a weakened Steel Man. George Pérez and Marv Wolfman co-write this 1985 Semic issue, with art by Pérez and Romeo Tanghal, and a striking cover by Pérez and Dick Giordano.
In "En vacker tjej som sprider ... pest!", a vengeful Russian agent unleashes a deadly plague on America through Maladi Malanova, a woman caught in a tragic web of love and war. When the Russian superhero Starfire (Leonid Kovar) is sent to eliminate her, he’s confronted by the Teen Gang—only to reveal, in a moment of heartbreaking truth, that Maladi was once his beloved, and his mission was never about destruction, but mercy.
In "Vishnus hämnd," Dr. Ljus's attempt to steal Indian antiquities backfires when he accidentally materializes solid holograms of the four avatars of the god Vishnus. With the teen gang and Höken stepping in to help, chaos unfolds as the ancient illusions begin to take on a life of their own.
In "Varning för Broder Blod!", Mirakelflickan och Starfire race against time to stop a bomb from detonating during a baseball game at Yankee Stadium, while a mysterious figure aboard a satellite watches with quiet satisfaction. As a former lover of Cyborg is murdered by the fanatical followers of Broder Blod, a group of teenagers secretly infiltrate the sect—only to be exposed and captured.
In "Broder Blod ... gud eller människa?", Tonårsgänget races to free their captured friends while Broder Blod manipulates media to frame them for a violent attack on a peaceful congregation. With his own death faked and an alien armada approaching Earth, the line between hero and villain blurs in a story that pits loyalty against deception and survival against the unknown.
In "Kidnappad!", Starfire is taken by her estranged sister Blackfire, who serves the tyrannical Citadellet and hunts down escaped slaves. With Starfire in peril and the Teen Titans unable to save her, even the weakened Steel Man must step in to pull them from the deadly void of space.
In "Sorglige Sanders," a man whose sorrowful face makes people cry at sight turns his misfortune into a criminal advantage—until Plastmannen disrupts his act by forcing a laugh out of him. A quiet, melancholic twist on the superhero genre, this 1985 tale from Gigant #6 finds humor in heartbreak and the unexpected power of joy.
