After a brief change in format for his annual coverage of MegaCon in Orlando, Fla., Billy Hogan has resumed his regular coverage with episode 264, of the Superman Fan Podcast, with a look at two comics containing a total of three Jerry Siegel-written stories.
First up is SUPERMAN #150. The sesquicentennial issue contains two Siegel tales, beginning with the nine-page “The One Minute of Doom.” The somber story finds Superman, Supergirl, Krypto, and the residents of Kandor pausing for a moment of somber reflection of a very important event.
That’s followed by the eight-page “When the World Forgot Superman.” A tale so surprising that it was made the issue’s cover feature. What could have made all of Earth lose memory of the mighty Man of Steel?!
Billy then turns his attention to ACTION COMICS #284, containing the 12-page Supergirl story, “The Strange Bodies of Supergirl,” where the Maid of Might deals with the perilous — and always unexpected — effects of Red Kryptonite. Plus, Superman gives his teen cousin a very special gift that will forever change her life!
