The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode five 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.

In this installment, Michael takes a look at the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #5. The story might be shorter than the norm, but the excitement is still full-throttle as Superman takes on the very forces of nature itself in a story that bears strange similarities to one of the most well-known Superman stories of all time! Plus, things go to a whole new level between Superman and Lois, kicking off a historic relationship that will become the stuff of legend.

And don’t miss the “Meanwhile” portion of the show where Michael takes a look at the debut of a brand new character over in the pages of DETECTIVE COMICS and how the character’s modern age legacy ultimately ties back to Superman.

QUOTABLE:
You mean… you’re actually glad to see me?
–Clark Kent

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode three 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 time out, Michael examines the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #3, which finds our favorite hero leaping into action to save a miner after a cave-in; then Superman takes on The Man by giving him a taste of his own medicine. As well, Michael gives some of history on the practice of comic book ashcans, talks briefly about comic book reprints and introduces you to what may be the most under-appreciated character in comic book history: Sandwich Guy!

QUOTABLE:
I’ve half a notion to ‘crash’ this party… to bits!

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode two 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 dives into ACTION COMICS #2, which resolves the cliffhanger left in Superman’s debut and sends our hero into an adventure in the war-torn country of San Monte, where he deals with weapons manufacturers, confronts military leaders and leaps questionable logic in a single bound. All this, and Lois Lane is arrested and sentenced to die for espionage!

QUOTABLE:
Say! Wasn’t that fun? — Let’s do it again!
–Superman
