The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 92 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.

Does a lack of sight heighten the other senses? The Man of Steel better hopes so given the menace he faces as Michael looks at the 19th storyline from the radio serial. And maybe “looks” isn’t the right word since the Daily Planet’s crusade against a corrupt bureaucrat leads Superman into a clash with… the Invisible Man! How can our hero defeat a villain he can’t even see?!

QUOTABLE:
“I sometimes wonder about you, Clark Kent. Yes, I really do.”
–Lois Lane

The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 82 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.

We return to the Man of Steel’s audio adventures this episode for a look at the 17th storyline from the Superman radio serial. After wrapping up the dangling plot elements from last storyline, Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen and, of course, Superman, set sail into a brand new adventure as a wayward turtle leads them to investigate “The Curse of Dead Man’s Island!”

QUOTABLE:
“Aw, please take me along! Please, Mr. Kent!”
–Jimmy Olsen

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 October 1941 issue 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.

Radio and Televison Mirror, October 1941

Boat crash imminent

Superman to the rescue!

Superman vs… giant clams?
