Stålmannen #12/1974
In "Stålmannen smälter!", Professor Hedds radical parenting theory puts a child's unchecked will to the test—literally—when his experimentee, Smarty, wields Stålmannen's power for a single day to see just how far "freedom" can go. Written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Wayne Boring, with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1974 issue from Williams Förlags AB features a striking cover by Neal Adams and Murphy Anderson.
In "Hur Stålmannen kom till Jorden!", the origins of Stålmannen are revealed in a tale that traces his journey from the doomed planet before Krypton's destruction, through his escape in a spacecraft, to his arrival on Earth and adoption by the Kent family. A quiet, heartfelt story rooted in myth and mystery, it unfolds the early chapters of his life with a sense of wonder and quiet purpose.
In "Smarty," Professor Hedds radical child-rearing theory puts a twist on a superhero's day when his test subject, Smarty, uses Stålmannen to assert his will for a full 24 hours. A playful yet sharp take on control and independence, the story follows one boy’s bold experiment with power—without revealing how it all unfolds.
