Welcome to episode eight of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

This episode, Michael takes a look at the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #8. A group of troubled youths draw the attention of Clark Kent, leading Superman to not only confront the man responsible for luring the boys into his web of crime, but to also take on the larger problem driving these boys to the wrong side of the tracks. Superman’s actions are a defining moment in the history of the Golden Age of Superman and leave the character in a place you might not expect — the most-wanted list! Plus, Michael also reads a couple iTunes reviews and talks about an overall improvement in the podcast.
