    EPISODE 3

    Action Comics #35 (1941) | The Guybart Gold Mine | 75

    Strap in, folks, because this episode is pure gold! Ed and Steeven dig deep into the thrilling 1941 Superman adventure, The Guybart Gold Mine, from Action Comics #35, and trust us—this one’s got everything: stock market schemes, airborne piracy, underground peril, and enough secret identities to make your head spin! Lois Lane gets tangled in a mystery when an elderly couple seeks her help over some suspiciously sought-after mining stock. Before she knows it, she’s dodging thugs, boarding planes under threat of mid-air shootouts, and getting buried alive in a so-called worthless mine! Meanwhile, Superman does what he does best—stopping bullets mid-air, flinging gangsters like ragdolls, and ripping the wings off airplanes because one just isn’t enough. But what’s the real secret behind the Guybart Mine? Why is a man with a suspiciously removable scar so interested in keeping everyone away? And will Superman ever fight someone who can actually stand a chance against him? Join us as we break down the action, point out the absurdity, and try (and fail) to tell all these cowboy-hat-wearing villains apart. It’s a rip-roaring, fist-flying, gold-grabbing good time! Action Comics #35 was published by DC Comics in February, 1941. The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media. For more nerdy goodness like this episode, visit somanypodcasts.com.

  4. Action Comics #36 (1941) | The Enemy Invasion | 76

    EPISODE 4

    Action Comics #36 (1941) | The Enemy Invasion | 76

    What if Superman had fought in World War II? Well, buckle up because Action Comics #36 gives us a glimpse into just that! In this pulse-pounding episode, Ed and Steeven dive into The Enemy Invasion, a thrilling Superman tale where Metropolis comes under attack by a mysterious foreign power. Sabotage! Aerial bombings! Political intrigue! And of course, Superman smashing everything in sight! Lois Lane finds herself at the center of a heated debate over national rearmament, only to uncover a sinister plot involving traitors, spies, and a full-scale invasion! As chaos erupts, Superman leaps (or… flies?) into action, dodging bullets mid-air, stopping a train with his bare hands, and single-handedly dismantling an entire enemy fleet. But wait—was Superman really still just "leaping" at this point, or have the comics been gaslighting us all along? Join us as we break down the action, the politics, and the absurdity of it all—including Clark Kent being the absolute worst coworker ever. Plus, we speculate on Superman’s real side hustle: fixing all the messes he leaves behind. It’s an episode packed with history, heroics, and some good old-fashioned Golden Age insanity. Don’t miss it! Action Comics #36 was published by DC Comics in March, 1941. The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

    Strap in for a wild ride as hosts Ed and Steeven tear into one of Superman’s most jaw-dropping adventures from 1941! In this explosive episode, they dissect The Invisible Luthor from Superman #10—a tale where banks vanish into thin air, the very lifeblood of Metropolis is held ransom for a staggering $100 million, and a shadowy, invisible villain orchestrates a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse from an unseen flying machine. With hyperbolic banter, electrifying insights, and a cascade of comic book nostalgia, our dynamic duo unpacks every mind-bending panel—from the shocking birth of Superman’s flight to a pulse-pounding showdown that leaves villains cowering and heroes ready for more.
