The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 92 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.

Does a lack of sight heighten the other senses? The Man of Steel better hopes so given the menace he faces as Michael looks at the 19th storyline from the radio serial. And maybe “looks” isn’t the right word since the Daily Planet’s crusade against a corrupt bureaucrat leads Superman into a clash with… the Invisible Man! How can our hero defeat a villain he can’t even see?!
