The Superman Super Show!

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.
