Welcome to episode 79 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 is joined by Jeffrey Taylor for a look at SUPERMAN #7, featuring four brand new Superman stories. From the wrongly accused to a town of exploding people to jewel thieves and crooked politicians, Superman takes on a wide range of challenges. And the hosts themselves cover a wide berth of Superman-related discussions in the process with talk ranging from comics to radio to television, film and beyond!

Be sure to catch Jeffrey regularly on From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast and Green Lantern’s Light! Don’t miss his ‘Man of Steel’ Countdown and Geek Debate columns at movies.com. And don’t miss Jeffrey’s web comic, Slipstream, which is illustrated, colored and edited by fellow Superman fans (and all-around nice guys) Billy Hogan, Charlie Niemeyer and Adam Dechanel! A huge thanks once more to Mr. Taylor for coming on the show.

Links mentioned in the episode:
– Jeffrey mentioned “Exile” as one of his favorite Superman storylines. He and Michael Bailey covered this in episodes 38 to 43 of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast.
– Jeffrey also lists SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY as another favorite. It hasn’t been covered on From Crisis to Crisis (yet), but gets the highest endorsement from this show’s host, as well. So read it now and be prepared for when they do.
