Superman #9/1970
In "Der böse Schabernack," Lex Luthor turns his attention to his nephew, uncovering surprising abilities that set the stage for a cunning plan. With a mix of manipulation and deception, he gains the boy's trust while outwitting Supergirl in a cleverly orchestrated scheme. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Win Mortimer, with inks by Jack Abel, the story unfolds with classic 1970s flair, all capped off by the iconic cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson.
In "Der böse Schabernack," Jimmy Olsen’s excitement over a new licensing deal quickly turns sour when he realizes the agreement is part of a mischievous plot orchestrated by the trickster Mxyzptlk—adding chaos to the mix as the scheme unfolds with help from Thomas Hale and Johnny Frick. Superman steps in to sort out the confusion, but with Mxyzptlk pulling strings, even the Man of Steel might not see the next prank coming.
Lex Luthor keeps a close eye on his seemingly useless nephew, only to uncover unexpected powers hidden beneath the surface. As he manipulates events from the shadows, he sets a clever trap that puts Supergirl on the defensive—while a young woman named Lena Colby and her brother Val find themselves caught in the crossfire.
