ALBI DEL FALCO
NEMBO KID
SUPERMAN
dopo 15 anni a suon di urrà e di cicliche ciclonate, la prima gloriosa testata italiana dedicata completamente all’ uomo d‘acciaio (per l’ occasione ribattezzato Nembo Kid) si caratterizza paradossalmente per l’ inconsistenza e la fragilità della carta talmente debole e sottile che si sbriciola e si frantuma a guardarla, in netta contrapposizione alla massiccia robustezza e alla solidità erculea del gagliardo supereroe, resistente ed indistruttibile come le scorie nucleari che a lui gli fanno il solletico, però in compenso deve stare molto attento alla kryptonite con cui noi invece ci facciamo tranquillamente i fanghi, gli infusi, l’ insalata, le tisane, le creme scioglipancia e anche il sugo per gli spaghetti

Synopsis
Jimmy Olsen is trying to get an exclusive story on a group called the
Beard Band, a group of beard enthusiasts that meet in secret, however
his fake beards fail to trick the members of the group and they bar him
admittance. Jimmy is approached by a man who offers him a beard tonic to
grow a real beard so that Jimmy can get into the exclusive club. This
tonic apparently works, and Jimmy is able to get into the meeting.
However, he learns it was all a trick orchestrated by the Beard Band,
who wants to make beards more publicly acceptable, and that they will
not give Jimmy the antidote unless he makes public appearances to boost
their cause.
When Jimmy goes to the Daily Planet to explain this to Perry
White, Perry refuses to believe it until he too takes the beard potion
and grows a beard of his own, Clark also drank the potion, immune to
it’s effects due to his Kryptonian physiology, he makes a fake beard so
as not to expose his secret identity. Jimmy’s attempts to make beards
more publicly acceptable backfire, and the angry Beard Band smashes the
antidote for Jimmy’s failure.
When they are about to drink a new version of the potion to
increase the length of their beards, Jimmy cuts off part of his and
tosses it into the chemical vat. This causes the chemical composition to
change, and by total fluke, creates the antidote. With the Beard Band
drinking the antidote, they are shocked to find their beards disappear.
After Superman dismantles their chemical process, Jimmy takes some for
himself and Perry as well.
