Welcome to episode 30 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.

The Superman media empire grows again as the newspaper strip expands to seven days a week with the addition of a full-color Sunday strip! This episode, Michael looks at the first storyline which features extortion, assault and animal abuse! And once Superman is done with that, he takes on the villain! HIJINKS!

QUOTABLE:
I — I must be dreaming!

Throwing cars!

A beatiful panel...

BEAR!

He'll huff and he'll puff...
