Superboy #65
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Super-Weakling from Space," Superboy confronts a puzzling alien visitor whose powers are the opposite of his own, challenging the young hero to rely on wit and science rather than strength. Written by Jack Schiff and illustrated by Bob Brown, with lettering by Ira Schnapp, this 1958 tale blends classic sci-fi wonder with the kind of thoughtful problem-solving that defined Superboy’s early adventures. The cover, by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye, captures the story’s curious tone with a striking image of the mysterious outsider.
In "The Super-Weakling from Space," Earth's gravity renders the alien visitor Dworn helpless, but his unique ability to turn any element into gold makes him a dangerous prize—especially for those who see only the treasure, not the man. With the Kents offering shelter and Lana Lang caught in the crossfire, Dworn must rely on kindness and courage to survive a planet that can’t even hold him up.
