Teräsmiehen Poika #9/1965
In "Kateellinen Clark Kent!", Superboy's latest adventure takes a bizarre turn when red kryptonite transforms him into a life-size puppet of himself—literally playing the role of his own alter ego. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by George Papp, this 1965 Finnish classic sees Clark Kent’s frustration with his dual identity lead to a strange experiment in public perception. The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the surreal moment with striking clarity.
In a quirky 1965 tale from *Teräsmiehen Poika #9*, Superboy—Clark Kent—finds himself at odds with a life-size puppet of his own making, the result of a red kryptonite exposure. With Martha and Jonathan Kent watching, the real Clark Kent tries to sabotage his heroic persona through the puppet, hoping to be seen as more relatable. The Great Venturi, ever the enigma, may just be the one to turn the situation around.
