Welcome to episode 59 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.
It’s back to the newspapers this time as Michael looks at the 14th storyline from the Superman daily newspaper strip, which finds a fallen crime boss trying to reclaim his glory. Will he make it back on top? Not if Superman has anything to say about it. Plus, Michael presents a Spotlight on radio’s Ned Wever, the first actor to portray Jor-L!
