Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! I am back for this Christmas season to look at a Superman promo comic that was released around this time in 1940. Joining me all the way from England is Andrew Leyland of Hey Kids Comics and Fantasticast podcasting fame! So join us for some talk about Superman, Christmas […]
I’m following my new format this episode, separating off discussion of real world and contemporary comics, as well as all Other Media adventures of Superman into their own episode here. In the daily strips, a new adventure begins as Superman sets out to help change the life of the meekest man in the world. The […]
After another of my now regular hiatuses, I am back to discuss Action Comics 33 with my good friend Charlie Niemeyer. We’ll be looking at Jack Burnley’s penultimate story of his fabled run on the book, featuring a will, a lumber mill, a muscled and mustachioed Frenchman, and Lois dying in a whirlpool! (spoilers) In […]
The first episode of a brand-new podcast has arrived! In Justice Society Origins, JON WILSON (of Golden Age Superman, this show’s parent podcast) and MICHAEL BAILEY (of several other podcasts, not the least of which are From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast and Tales of the Justice Society of America) begin at the beginning […]
And I have returned to continue with my coverage of the Superman adventures that were published in November 1940. First, Charlie Niemeyer helps me take a look at Action Comics 32. And in other media, I finish my look at the daily newspaper story where Lois has become a pawn of a mysterious master villain. […]
After an extended gap, the show is back for the first of three episodes to cover the adventures of Superman that were published in November of 1940. Actually, the first two of those episodes will be Superman, the third will be a recently announced Justice Society of America special. (Hooray!) The issue at hand today […]
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Did you miss me? Well, summer is here, school’s out, and that means time for more podcasts! In this episode, I am joined by Charlie Niemeyer once again to look at Action Comics 31. Someone has put the town of Brentville to sleep, and it’s up to Superman to […]
Welcome back to the goldenest Superman podcast ever produced, Golden Age Superman. Here in episode 30B, I’ll discuss Action Comics 30 with the help of Charlie Niemeyer, as we see golden globes of doom being used to destroy people, leaving behind nothing but a shadow imprint on the ground. It’s creepy gruesome stuff, and it […]
Perry White joins the comic book cast in this episode’s coverage of Superman 7 which is full of Joe Shuster goodness! First, Superman has to save an innocent man from being framed for murder by three kingpins of crime. Then it’s off to Gay City for Clark to find out why men are exploding at […]
This episode, I am joined again by Charlie Niemeyer of Superman in the Bronze Age to look at Jack Burnley’s work in Action Comics 29. It’s a great little mystery that jams 13 pages more full of story than they often are. Feel free to laugh and mock as Jon stumbles all over the various […]
Golden Age Superman is back again, this time with 100% more voices! This episode covers the second half of Superman’s adventures from July 1940, and I am joined by Charlie Niemeyer (of Superman in the Bronze Age and frequently of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman) to look at Action Comics 28, where Jack Burnley becomes […]
Welcome back to Golden Age Superman. This is the first of two episodes that will examine the Superman adventures published during the month of July 1940, and this episode focuses on Superman 6. First, Lois Lane is accused of murder. Then Clark and Lois visit the small town of Gateston to help their newspaper expose […]
After last month’s monster four-hour episode, Golden Age Superman is back with a more manageable length to cover the stories of June 1940. In this episode, I take a look at Action Comics 27, which features Clark’s and Lois’s investigations of a rehabilitation home for wayward youths. There is abuse afoot, and Lois is determined […]
Welcome to Golden Age Superman. This episode, I spend a little while taking a look at Superman 5, New York World’s Fair Comics 1940, Action Comics 26, and all the usual monthly doses of Superman in other media. Highlights include Alex Evell’s campaign against the Planet (get it? evell = evil), Jack Burnley’s first work […]
April showers bring May flowers, and they also bring conniving female reporters who MUST KNOW SUPERMAN’S REAL IDENTITY! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this latest episode covers Action Comics 25, the first time Lois Lane ever sought to find out who Superman really is. It’s a bit of a romp with Superman being immobilized by hypnotism […]
What do you do if your neglect and indulge your son, and he turns out to be a bit of a bum? Why, call in Superman to straighten him out, of course! That’s what old Rufus Carnahan does in Action Comics 24, the Superman adventure discussed in this episode of Golden Age Superman. But will […]
Luthor is back, for the first time! In this second half of Golden Age Superman’s coverage of Superman’s adventures in February 1940, Superman 4 takes us on two very different adventures with Luthor. First we see him challenge Superman to a series of superfeats, and then our jaws hit the floor as he lures Superman […]
Golden Age Superman is proud to present its first two-part episode! The second month of 1940 saw more Superman content being published than in any month previous, with Superman 4 (for the first time presenting four all-new stories) and Action Comics 23 both featuring the first adventures of none other than Luthor himself. Then there […]
Golden Age Superman is starting out a new year and a new decade. I’m back going solo this week to look at Action Comics 22, where Superman heads off to the war in Europe and runs into beautiful spies, intrigue, and massacre. Then in the newspaper strips, the stories take a different approach on the […]
Golden Age Superman is back again to finish out not just the year, but the 1930s decade! AND to complete its celebration of the Ultra Humanite’s farewell to Superman’s comic stories with Action Comics 23. For this final installment, I have J David Weter of Superman Forever Radio with me, and we talk about Ultra […]
