(Superman) / Cary Bates, writer ; Curt Swan, penciller ; Dave Hunt, inker ; Agustin Mas, letterer ; Gene D'Angelo, colorist ; Julius Schwartz, editor. 24 p. in Superman, no. 418 (Apr. 1986). -- SUMMARY: Aliens Superman once met as Superboy ask for help in dealing with a threat to their civilization. He agrees and one alien stays to take over Superman's job. The news media name him "Superman-X." Guns turn to dust, kryptonite turns to sandstone, and people begin to think the replacement has surpassed Superman. Superman-X cures hopeless diseases, etc., but doesn't balance his deeds with self-restraint. Lois and Jimmy show Superman-X a news story in which a child with polio and leg braces is killed in the chaos of people trying to get to the "savior" at the hospital gates. Superman-X believes it and leaves in a wail of anguish, but the tape was a fake, nobody has died, although the chaos was real.

Balbo, the Boy MagicianFeature in Master Comics (1942-1944) with art and maybe script by Bert Whitman, according to the Grand Comics Database Project. He also appeared in America's Greatest Comics, no. 7 (Spring 1943), and there the GCD suggests the script may be by Carl Formes.Series description: "Balbo was a young magician. He had no superpowers whatsoever. All his magic tricks are the result of skilled prestidigitation, and there is nothing supernatural about them. He should definitely not be compared to the many magician super-heroes with magic powers who were popular during the Golden Age of comics. The Balbo stories take place in a non-science fictional world. Although Balbo frequently encounters events that seem impossible, they always turn out to be based on stage magic illusions and trickery. The stories sometimes open with Balbo performing on stage. The most interesting part of many Balbo stories was his business partner in his magic act, John Smith. John Smith was a non-stereotyped black man. Smith was intelligent, articulate, honest and courageous. He always wore a suit and bow tie, and was drawn by Whitman in a dignified, realistic manner. It is quite startling to see such a realistic black character, in an era that often caricatured black people. John Smith came up with good ideas. Sometimes Smith would rescue Balbo from villains' traps, sometimes Balbo would rescue Smith from capture. There was a free and easy give and take between the two characters. John Smith was a calm, low key person. He rarely got excited in the tales. Instead, he tended to make intelligent, practical comments on events around him, and to try to help out and improve the current situation. There were very few grown-up, black, continuing characters in the comic books before the late 1960's. At the very least, John Smith shows that the comics industry had the intellectual capability of depicting black people in a non-stereotyped way, by the early 1940's. If the comics industry did not include such characters, it was because of a failure of nerve, or through prejudice." None of the Balbo stories I have read deal with civil rights issues, or discrimination. They are not explicitly political. A major comic book story advocating Civil Rights for black people would soon be published in the Johnny Everyman series: the untitled story about African-Americans (World's Finest Comics #17, Spring 1945).

At the end of his act a giant six-foot wedge of cheese will take on all comers in a wrestling match. John, Balbo's agent, is skeptical, as is Percy Tibbles, the wrestler who takes the challenge at the urging of his own agent. "Aw gee, I dowanna! I never wrestled no cheese before!" After he loses to the cheese, Percy steals it, and tries to hold a demonstration of his own by beating the cheese the next morning, but he still can't beat it. The cheese takes off across a tightrope. Both Percy and Balbo follow it, and Balbo ends up having to rescue Percy. It is revealed to the reader that a large battery-powered gyroscope holds the cheese upright. Balbo switches the fighting cheese for a real one, and Percy steals it and tries to eat it for strength. Percy's manager tries to sign the cheese as a wrestler. -- Summary (by Michael Grost): "Balbo enters a giant, six foot piece of cheese as a contestant in a wrestling contest. Surrealist tale with a G-rated but utterly weird plot. Who would ever envision a giant wedge of cheese as doing anything, let alone wrestling in a ring? This tale pulls it off. Its inventive plot is unlikely, but does eventually come up with fairly intelligent explanations of everything happening in the tale." -- Call no.: folio PN6728.M38no.43 ----------------------------------------------------- Balbo the Boy Magician (Nov. 1943) "Crime's Four Hundred" (Balbo the Boy Magician) 10 p. in Master Comics, no. 44 (Nov. 1943) -- Title from contents page: "Cream of Crime."

"Le Livre Maudit" (Cap'tain Swing) p. 3-66 in Cap'tain Swing, no. 114 (Sept. 2004). -- Summary: The Redcoat soldiers arrest a man in the street who complains loudly of his fate, but when he is taken to the commanding officer it turns out he's an undercover agent, a traitor turning over a list of patriots' names. Lord Marmaduke Langsburry, an emisary direct from the King in London, witnesses the transaction and asks to see the list. Lord Langsburry pockets the list, then removes his beard to reveal that he is indeed Captain Swing. In short order the traitor is dead, and the fine carriage that brought "Langsburry" has left at a gallop. The British soldiers take off after the carriage, making it easy for Swing to sneak out of the headquarters to hide with his old friend Professor Griffith. The professor is puzzling over an old Rosicrucian book he bought from an antiquarian book dealer in Strasbourg. The reading isn't going well since it's Greco-Latino-Hebraic in runic characters. By chance, a soldier has seen Swing enter Griffith's house, so the soldiers come and the two have to flee. Also there is a sinister-looking bald man lurking in the house looking for a chance to steal the book. The professor takes the book with him, and they ride to Fort Ontario. Betty sets the professor up with a place to study. The creepy bald man returns to his home as well, on Black Skull Mountain, which is not far from Fort Ontario. He thinks awhile, then sends one of his superstitious Black servants, named Mumbulah, to go to Fort Ontario on Lake Ontario and retrieve the book, no matter whose life it costs. Meanwhile Griffith suddenly figures out the book, and it makes him crazy. He babbles nonsense and ancient-sounding words, and tries to kill Mister Bluff's dog, Pouik, by hanging it by the neck with a rope. Griffith's raving is so violent they have to tie him up. Mumbulah arrives at the fort and tries to steal the book, but gets locked up for his trouble. Hibou thinks sorcery is involved. Taking the book, Swing rides out from Lake Ontario for a few hours to a mountain cave full of books, bottles and a smoking brazier. Swing asks the wise man there to take a look at the book, and the wise man is interested. He says to come back in a few days when he's studied the book. Meanwhile, the strange bald man from Black Skull Mountain shows up at Fort Ontario asking for lodging. As he enters both Griffith and Mumbulah can be heard raving from their respective lockups, and Mister Bluff wonders if it might be the weather causing it. Hibou says that Indians lose their spirit in captivity too, and in sympathy lets Mumbulah out for some exercise. Mumbulah sees his master and immediately commits suicide by jumping from a tower. Then the bald man hypnotizes Betty from behind without her having even seen him. He tells her to go to town and buy a blue dress, and when she leaves the fort on foot he kidnaps her. When Swing comes back from delivering the book to his guru, a ransom note is found. The Rosicrucian book must be brought to Black Skull Mountain in exchange for Betty's life. Swing, Bluff and Hibou retrace Swing's path to retrieve the book, and arrive just as the wise man has deciphered it. He also starts raving and has to be tied up. The bald man gets excited when he mentally feels the book approaching, the book that was "stolen from them at Tubingen." The man tries to capture Swing rather than release Betty, and in the struggle the book and the whole house are burned to ashes. At that moment both of the raving scholars are released from their spells miles apart. They get together at Fort Ontario and agree that the destruction of the book was a good thing. The one from the mountain, the one that Swing calls "master," quotes Shakespeare: "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosopy." -- Call no.: PN6748.C336no.114 ----------------------------------------------------- Bald Men.
