The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 76 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.

The Man of Steel takes on more dirty devils and nasty ne’er-do-wells as Michael looks at the Superman story from the pages of ACTION COMICS #29. Our hero charges in, tearing down a racket perpetrated by vile fiends to prey on the aged, helpless and oppressed. If there ever was… this is a job for Superman.

QUOTABLE:
Little time to act! — That mob’s about to go wild — and Lois is in the thick of it!

This episode, Michael speaks with Marc Tyler Nobleman, author of “Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman,” an all-ages picture book biography of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. In the interview, Marc discusses his book, its development, why Siegel’s and Shuster’s story is worthy of a book and much more. We also discuss Marc’s upcoming book on Batman co-creator Bill Finger and his research and interviews with some of pop culture and super-hero entertainment’s lost stars.
