Just in time for Christmas, Billy Hogan has released the latest episode, number 252, of the Superman Fan Podcast.
There’s only one issue on Billy’s docket this episode, ACTION COMICS #280, but the book contains two stories — both written by Jerry Siegel.
First up is the 13-page “Brainiac’s Super-Revenge!” Also featured on the cover, this story finds Superman facing off against, as the title might suggest, Brainiac! It is Siegel’s last major use of the character until 1965. The story also features an appearance by a character who was Superman’s neighbor in the pages of ACTION COMICS during the Golden Age — Congo Bill.
And second is the 12-page Supergirl story, “Trapped In Kandor!,” which continues Siegel’s Supergirl saga, as Supergirl seeks to reclaim her powers with a little help from her super-cousin… while two nefarious villains continue to plot against them both!
