0004 Superman (1948)

This week The Last Good Ol' Boys of Krypton are back to cover Supes very first appearance on "film" in the Fleischer Bros. Studios Superman Cartoons. The Fleischer Superman cartoons are a series of seventeen animated short films released in Technicolor by Paramount Pictures and based upon the comic book character Superman, making them his first animated appearance. They were originally produced by Fleischer Studios, which completed the initial short and eight further cartoons in 1941 and 1942. Production was resumed in May 1942 by Famous Studios, a successor company to Fleischer, which produced eight more cartoons in 1942 and 1943. Superman was the final animated series initiated by Fleischer Studios, before Famous Studios officially took over production.

This week the Last Good Ol' Boys of Krypton are joined by guest masochist Steve Shives. This movie is loaded with camp, magic, a star-studded cast... and a script... hoo boy.
