The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 69 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.

Return to the thrilling days of yesteryear as Michael looks at the 12th storyline from the Superman radio serial. An old friend of Lois’s is charged with running Happyland, the newest amusement park attraction. But when “Midway” Martin’s offer to buy the park is refused, he sets out to make Happyland a lot less happy… causing trouble for Lois and a job for Superman!

QUOTABLE:
“I should say I have something to do… as Superman!“
–Clark Kent… and Superman

The Superman radio show, obviously, doesn’t allow for scans of images from the story. However, here is a look at a couple spot illustrations, that accompanied the text adaptation of the story in the August issues of Radio and Television Mirror, as well as a look at that issue’s cover. Art was likely done by members of the Shuster shop. Who penned the adaptations themselves, however, is not known.

Plus, someone discovers that Superman and Clark Kent are one in the same. Can our hero stop the secret from getting out? All in a day’s work for Superman.

– Josh also mentions a very late Silver Age tale where Lois is accused of the murder of Lana Lang. As he says, this story in “Is Lois Lane Guilty?” from SUPERMAN’S GIRL FRIEND, LOIS LANE #99 and “Lois Lane’s Last Mile!” from SUPERMAN’S GIRL FRIEND, LOIS LANE #100.
