hello, this is the same anon that sent the ask about the GSNK web radio before- i found the files, so please feel free to ignore the previous ask!! (my thank you for your hard work on the scans are for forever though!!)
but just in case there aren't any translations around and anyone else is interested in the raws, you can get them here: https://radibrary[dot]tistory[dot]com/tag/%EC%9B%94%EA%B0%84%EC%86%8C%EB%85%80%20%EB%85%B8%EC%9E%90%ED%82%A4%EA%B5%B0
you have to download all of the split 7z files, rename each file you download to the name they have the file displayed as (i.e.: nozaki#06.7z.001) and then open the first split file (001) with a program like 7zip!

August 1940. Perhaps the most important Superman story never published: In the summer of 1940, Jerry Siegel wrote a complete script for a 26-page Superman epic (the length of two normal Superman stories of this period) in which Superman is weakened by a passing meteor of radioactive metal from the destroyed planet Krypton, here called "K-Metal." That alone would have been noteworthy, but that's far from all. Later in the story, Superman reveals his true identity to the survivors of a mine cave-in, including Lois Lane!
The other three witnesses are subsequently killed, but Lois now knows the truth. She and Superman then have the following conversation:
LOIS: Now I begin to see. Your attitude of cowardliness as Clark Kent-- It was just a screen to keep the world from learning who you really are! But there's one thing I must know: Was your--er--affection for me, in your role as Clark, also a pretense?
SUPERMAN: THAT was the genuine article, Lois!
LOIS: How foolish you were not to let me in on the secret! You should have known you could trust me! Why-- Don't you realize-- I might even be of great help to you?
SUPERMAN: You're right! There were many times when I could have used the assistance of a confederate. Why didn't I think of it before?
LOIS: Then it's settled! We're to be--partners!
SUPERMAN: Yes -- partners!
It isn't quite so easy, however. After returning to Metropolis, Lois tells Clark, "I just remembered how long you've secretly been laughing at me! I don't like to be laughed at, Clark Kent-- But-- I'll assist you… Only for the good of humanity, however!"
Most of the art for this story was completed, or nearly completed, by Joe Shuster's shop artists before National-DC pulled the plug. The exact reasons are now unknown, although the most likely explanation is that the story just seemed like too much of a shift in the established dynamics of the Superman strip, which was by then running in newspapers and on the radio as well as in the comics. K-Metal, renamed Kryptonite, resurfaced in a 1943 radio storyline, which borrows some elements from this script, but Kryptonite wouldn't appear in the comics until 1949, and it wouldn't be until decades later that Lois Lane really and truly learned the secret.
For background on this story, see Mark Waid's article in ALTER EGO #26 (July 2003). The Superman Through the Ages website has a nearly complete recreation of the full story, done by modern artists (in color) based on the surviving pages of original art and Siegel's script, which Waid had carefully retyped using the same kind of typewriter Siegel used.

i struggle a lot with deviating from the original design when doing fanart because i fear the character won't be recognisable anymore if i dare change the colours here and there
i think its a damn shame since i see all the cool spins on character designs and think "man, i could do that"
so here's my two little thinkin pieces on me, yknow, doing that, with alastor :)
i might actually make the final one into like... a thing??? but don't count on it, my attention span is abysmal.
