Welcome to episode 81 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 looks at the Superman story story from ACTION COMICS #30! A snow-storm blankets the city of Metropolis… in mid-July?! What could be the cause? This is only the first of many questions tackled by Superman in this tale — including an end-of-the-story twist so shocking that you’ll never see it coming (and may wish you could un-see it once you do…)!

QUOTABLE:
“Lois in the thick of this! I might have expected it!”

The splash

Zolar! (Or maybe the Ultra Humanite… or the Yellow Mask… or Luthor from the future… or…)

Boom goes the strato-ship
