Superman in the Bronze Age is a podcast hosted by Charlie Niemeyer looking at … well, Superman in the Bronze Age! The show launched in 2010 originally doing an issue-by-issue look at the Man of Steel’s adventures through that period. Since, Charlie has shifted gears to a more “hodge-podge” format, highlighting the best and greatest stories from that period.<\/p>\n

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Both Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were all but through with their creative contributions to comics at that time — and certainly neither wrote or illustrated any stories for DC. So how can a show about Superman in the Bronze Age be of interest to Siegel and Shuster fans?<\/p>\n

Well, in episode 68<\/a>, Charlie looks at “The Man Who Created Superman.”<\/p>\n

\"Superman<\/a><\/p>\n

The story features Superman’s encounter with Joseph J. Jerome, the world’s greatest storyteller. Saying more would be giving away the story, but if the name isn’t obvious, the character is a clear send-up to the men themselves: Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.<\/p>\n

It is a notable story given that it was published more than six months before Siegel, Shuster and the company came to (somewhat amicable) terms, and a full year before their creator credits were restored to Superman comics. A closer examination of the story might be done here in the future. But for now, go give a listen to Charlie’s take on the story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
