Stålpojken #4/1971
In "Avslöjandet," Stålpojken’s attempt to escape a crush of admirers in Smallville backfires when he claims to be in love with Cleopatra—prompting Professor Potter to pull the ancient queen from history using a time machine. With Cleopatra in the present, Stålpojken is overwhelmed by her demands, only to discover a shocking twist when he tries to retrieve her court jester Ramses: the woman he thought was Cleopatra is actually Lana in disguise. The story unfolds with clever misdirection and a surprise reveal, all drawn with the crisp, expressive style of Curt Swan and inked by George Klein, while Dick Giordano’s cover captures the moment of revelation with dynamic flair.
In "Avslöjandet," Clark Kent's cousin Crusty temporarily moves in with the Kent family, but his charm quickly gives way to trouble. As Clark struggles to keep his cousin out of scrapes, the situation spirals in ways he never expected—though the truth remains just out of reach.
In "Röd kryptonit," Stålpojken recounts the strange and unpredictable ways red kryptonite has altered him—splitting him into a villainous Clark Kent and his heroic self, shrinking to tiny size, growing wings, and even becoming magnetic. The story explores these bizarre transformations with a mix of wonder and humor, all told in the signature tone of the 1971 Stålpojken anthology.
When Stålpojken claims to be in love with Kleopatra to escape persistent admirers in Smallville, Professor Potter builds a time machine to bring the ancient queen to the present—only to find Stålpojken overwhelmed by her demands. As he tries to return her to antiquity to fetch her courtier Ramses, he discovers a shocking twist: the Kleopatra he’s been with was never the real queen, but Lana in disguise. When the truth unravels and Stålpojken loses his powers, it’s Lana who sets things right.
