Stålmannen #8/1972

In "Duellen som förintade Jorden!", Sandstålmannen and Stålmannen triumph over the Quarrm demon, only for Sandstålmannen to demand sole dominion over Earth. A deadly duel looms—where only one of the two can survive—but Sandstålmannen ultimately chooses peace, returning to Quarrm and leaving Stålmannen diminished. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Murphy Anderson, this 1972 issue features a cover by Neal Adams, whose dynamic pencils and inks capture the stakes of the moment.
