Superboy #9/1983
In "Der Stählerne - nur noch Materie?", Superboy faces a bizarre twist when his body begins to transform into something far from human—yet he’s determined to keep his life on track. Written by Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Joe Giella and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1983 story sees Clark Kent navigating school life, romance, and a sudden alien-induced metamorphosis. The cover by Gil Kane and Howard Bender captures the moment’s tension with striking precision.
In a quiet moment of normalcy, Superboy—now Clark Kent—enjoys the simple pleasures of high school: a date to the ball with Debbie Wallach, a spot on the football team, and the steady support of his parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent. But when he suddenly begins to transform into a living machine, even his closest friends like Pete Ross and Lisa Davis are left wondering if the boy they know is still there. With help from the mysterious N´LL and a clever plan, Clark must outwit the alien forces behind his transformation—before he loses himself completely.
In "Kopfgeld," Superboy faces off against the ruthless bounty hunter Hunter, who’s bent on enforcing his own brand of justice. With the mysterious Meister pulling strings from the shadows and Vicky Grant (Wetterhexe und Smaradgtiger) teaming up with Christopher King (Hornisse und Vibro), the stakes rise as old alliances are tested and the line between law and vengeance blurs.
