Teräsmiehen Poika #7/1964
"Jonathan Kentin lapsuus" delivers a charming, early tale of Superman’s roots, spotlighting a young Jo in a pivotal moment before his future as Earth’s protector. Written, drawn, and inked by Henry Boltinoff, this 1964 Finnish classic features a touching origin moment with a flaming meteor and a heroic act that shapes a boy’s destiny. The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the story’s warmth and wonder in a striking, nostalgic image.
In this delightfully absurd 1964 tale from *Teräsmiehen Poika*, Super-Turtle takes center stage with a heroic twist: when a flaming meteor threatens Earth, he doesn’t destroy it—he redirects it to an Arctic expedition, where it’s just the thing to keep the scientists from freezing. A perfect blend of slapstick and superhero silliness, the story leans into its playful tone with a punchy, no-frills charm.
