Welcome to episode 14 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.

As the show gets back to it’s regular routine, Michael dives head-first into the comics rack with a look at ACTION COMICS #11. A pair of ne’er-do-wells are bilking investors with a phony stock scheme. This looks like a job for… Homer Ramsey? Of course! But don’t worry, Superman gets involved as well, taking on the oil stock swindlers… and giving them a taste of their own medicine. After all, what’s a Superman story without a little arson? Yes, we said arson. Plus, Michael reads more listener email!

QUOTABLE:
That finishes Homer Ramsey — his work is done. Now it’s time for Superman to step in!
