I’m following my new format this episode, separating off discussion of real world and contemporary comics, as well as all Other Media adventures of Superman into their own episode here. In the daily strips, a new adventure begins as Superman sets out to help change the life of the meekest man in the world. The […]

After another of my now regular hiatuses, I am back to discuss Action Comics 33 with my good friend Charlie Niemeyer. We’ll be looking at Jack Burnley’s penultimate story of his fabled run on the book, featuring a will, a lumber mill, a muscled and mustachioed Frenchman, and Lois dying in a whirlpool! (spoilers) In […]

The first episode of a brand-new podcast has arrived!

And I have returned to continue with my coverage of the Superman adventures that were published in November 1940.  First, Charlie Niemeyer helps me take a look at Action Comics 32.  And in other media, I finish my look at the daily newspaper story where Lois has become a pawn of a mysterious master villain.

Welcome back to the goldenest Superman podcast ever produced, Golden Age Superman.  Here in episode 30B, I’ll discuss Action Comics 30 with the help of Charlie Niemeyer, as we see golden globes of doom being used to destroy people, leaving behind nothing but a shadow imprint on the ground.  It’s creepy gruesome stuff, and it […]

Perry White joins the comic book cast in this episode’s coverage of Superman 7 which is full of Joe Shuster goodness!  First, Superman has to save an innocent man from being framed for murder by three kingpins of crime.  Then it’s off to Gay City for Clark to find out why men are exploding at […]

This episode, I am joined again by Charlie Niemeyer of Superman in the Bronze Age to look at Jack Burnley’s work in Action Comics 29.  It’s a great little mystery that jams 13 pages more full of story than they often are.  Feel free to laugh and mock as Jon stumbles all over the various […]
