Stålmannen #10/1963
"Den andre Stålmannen!" is a poignant chapter in the Stålmannen saga, written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye. When Stålmannen promises entertainment to children at an orphanage but can't deliver the circus, he improvises with circus animals and tricks outside the building—his memories drifting back to his own childhood as Stålbabyn, the time he was separated from Jonathan and Martha Kent during a boat trip and ended up in a series of foster homes before reuniting with them. A 1.25 SEK comic from 1963, this issue captures a quiet, heartfelt moment in the character's journey.
When scientist James Flint accidentally sends his son to the distant planet Uzz, the boy grows up to become the super-powered hero Regor—only to face a new threat from the villain Bantor. After fleeing Uzz in despair, Regor crash-lands on Earth, where he finds unexpected aid in the legendary Stålmannen, who helps him return to his home world to restore balance.
In "Förbrytarvärlden!", Rymd-Tommy infiltrates the criminal planet where gangster Jim Crewe has long ruled unchecked through rigged casinos and shadowy operations. With his mission clear but the dangers unknown, Tommy must navigate a world built on deception before the criminal empire can strike again.
In "Hemligheten med Stålmannens hem!" from Stålmannen #10/1963, a gangster boss hires Lippy Taylor to uncover the secret identity of Stålmannen by surveilling Clark Kent’s apartment building. Lippy tests the residents by putting them in dangerous situations, searching for any sign that one of them might be the masked hero.
In "Lille jätten!", Stålmannen brings joy to children at a children’s home by turning his own strength into a makeshift circus, recalling his own past as a child who once wandered alone—separated from the Kent family during a boat journey, raised in a series of homes, and eventually reunited with them. The story quietly weaves memory and present-day kindness, grounding his heroism in a personal history of loss and belonging.
In "null," Jo’s clumsy attempts to catch John’s attention with bold, heartfelt gestures keep ending in peril—each one forcing him to step in and save her from life-threatening situations, leaving their connection tangled in danger and unspoken feelings.
