The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 90 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.

This episode, Michael is joined by Michael Bailey for a star-spangled look at four brand new and (mostly) awesome Superman stories from SUPERMAN #8. These stories see the Man of Steel taking on a plethora of foes, including towering giants, a murder wrap, carnival racketeers and the very justice system itself in his crusade as champion of the oppressed. It’s, perhaps, the best issue of SUPERMAN yet. Don’t miss out!

Be sure to catch Michael regularly on From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast, Bailey’s Batman Podcast, Views From the Longbox, Radio KAL Live, a trio of shows (Comics Monthly Mondays, Back to the Bins and Walking Dead Wednesdays) at Two True Freaks and PADsmash: An Incredible Hulk Podcast. You can also find him in a non-podcast capacity via his blog, the Fortress of Baileytude, and reviews of ACTION COMICS at the Superman Homepage! A huge thanks once more to Mr. Bailey for coming on the show.

The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 81 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.

This episode, Michael looks at the Superman story story from ACTION COMICS #30! A snow-storm blankets the city of Metropolis… in mid-July?! What could be the cause? This is only the first of many questions tackled by Superman in this tale — including an end-of-the-story twist so shocking that you’ll never see it coming (and may wish you could un-see it once you do…)!

QUOTABLE:
“Lois in the thick of this! I might have expected it!”
–Superman

The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 79 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.

This episode, Michael is joined by Jeffrey Taylor for a look at SUPERMAN #7, featuring four brand new Superman stories.

And the hosts themselves cover a wide berth of Superman-related discussions in the process with talk ranging from comics to radio to television, film and beyond!

Be sure to catch Jeffrey regularly on From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast and Green Lantern’s Light! Don’t miss his ‘Man of Steel’ Countdown and Geek Debate columns at movies.com. And don’t miss Jeffrey’s web comic, Slipstream, which is illustrated, colored and edited by fellow Superman fans (and all-around nice guys) Billy Hogan, Charlie Niemeyer and Adam Dechanel! A huge thanks once more to Mr. Taylor for coming on the show.

Links mentioned in the episode:
– Jeffrey mentioned “Exile” as one of his favorite Superman storylines. He and Michael Bailey covered this in episodes 38 to 43 of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast.
– Jeffrey also lists SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY as another favorite. It hasn’t been covered on From Crisis to Crisis (yet), but gets the highest endorsement from this show’s host, as well. So read it now and be prepared for when they do.
