   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. The real Superman returns soon after (summary by
   Mary Walker). -- Call no.: PN6728.1.N3S8no.418

Balbo, the Boy Magician

Feature 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. An occasional related activity page is titled Balbo's Own Magic Page.

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).

   down for the traveling magic act in the town of Cooper's
   Corners, but Balbo gets an idea. 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

   "Le Livre Maudit" (Cap'tain Swing) p. 3-66 in Cap'tain

   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."
