Synopsis

Superboy goes back to the Old West of the 19th Century, assumes a new
secret identity, runs across outlaw Jess Manning, his son Toby (the
future Terra-Man*), an alien currency-thief, and decides to return to his
home era. 

*  Tobias “Toby” Manning  (alias Terra-Man) nacque nel west degli Stati Uniti nel 1878, figlio del fuorilegge Jess Manning; all’età di dieci anni incontrò (in questa storia) un alieno chiamato il Collezionista – famoso per collezionare cose di grande rarità, sia oggetti che esseri viventi – il quale lo rapì e gli cancellò la memoria facendogli dimenticare la morte del padre, ucciso proprio dal Collezionista in sua presenza. Tobias allora lasciò la Terra e viaggiò per molti anni con il Collezionista rubando per lui a man bassa nei vari pianeti dell’universo, con il nome di Terra-Man. Col tempo però riacquisì la memoria e allora si vendicò uccidendo il Collezionista. Una volta ritornato sulla Terra scoprì che l’alta velocità (delle astronavi con cui viaggiava nello spazio, non del frecciarossa o di italo) aveva rallentato il suo invecchiamento e che sulla Terra invece era passato oltre un secolo. Qui allora egli continuò la sua attività criminale, scontrandosi anche più volte con Superman.
