Golden Age Superman

GASup 005 — September 1938

Hello, and welcome again to Golden Age Superman.  This week, we’re taking a look at Action Comics 5, which is probably my favorite issue we’ve done so far.  The Superman story is a little shorter, but it’s a rather good action-packed adventure with Superman saving a town from a ruptured dam.  Also, the Superman/Clark/Lois triangle officially starts with this issue.  So come check it out!

The show is now being supported by the Superman Homepage, the largest Superman news/information site on the Internet, and if by chance you’ve never been, I strongly encourage you to check it out.

ASMC 023 – Amazing Spider-Man 33 and 34

Welcome back to the show, everyone!  In this latest episode, the Master Planner trilogy comes to its oh so dramatic conclusion, and Scott Gardner of the Two True Freaks! family of podcasts helps us get there.

Then, Kraven is once again on the prowl, and the team is joined by Brad Douglas of the Spider-Man Crawlspace.

Peter’s life takes some significant turns in these two issues, and Jon, Don, and Josh help you laugh at every one of them.  Cuz that’s why they’re called COMICS!

GASup 004 — August 1938

Welcome back to Golden Age Superman.  This episode, in Action Comics 4, Superman decides to play football.  Yes, the champion of the oppressed is stopping thugs while potentially ruining a man’s life in the process.  But by chance, it all manages to work out in the end.

GASup 003 — July 1938

Welcome again to Golden Age Superman.  This episode, I spend a little time with Action Comics 3, which features Superman in costume for all of one panel.  The story is a pretty simple morality tale, so the episode goes quickly.

ASMC 022 – Amazing Spider-Man 31 and 32

Welcome to the first episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics for the new year 2011!  I hope you enjoyed the raw uberlong Christmas episode.  This one is of a bit more manageable length, but it’ll probably still be one of the larger items in your podcast folder.  Not that size matters, of course!

This episode, Josh Bertone had to bow for health reasons but left us instructions to continue without him.  So Jon Wilson and Don Grant are joined by the one and only Scott Gardner of the podcasts Two True Freaks!, Back to the Bins!, Tales of the Justice Society of America, and Death and the Acrid Smell of Gunsmoke: The Jonah Hex Podcast, all of which can be found at one website and under the Two True Freaks! podcast feed on iTunes.

This episode, it’s college time for Peter, where he meets a new cast of chracters, including Emma Stone!  But he’s so worried about his aunt’s health, he pays them no attention and is immediately shunned for it because these guys have real class!

Don’t forget to send us an email and let us know what you think, or share your thoughts in the comment section below.  As always, we enjoy receiving reviews on iTunes, which will also receive response on the show.  And thank you so much for listening!

GASup 002 — June 1938

Welcome back to Golden Age Superman.  This episode, we take a look at Action Comics 2, resolving last week’s “Oh, no, falling!” cliffhanger.  It’s a more standard episode length until we get to multiple books per episode.

I hope you enjoy the ride.  Golden Age Superman is a proud member of the Superman Podcast Network.  If you wish to send feedback, you may do so in the comments below or via email.  You can also subscribe to the show through iTunes.  Thank you for listening!

Golden Age Superman 001 — May 1938

Welcome and thank you for checking out this new podcast on the Golden Age Superman.  Here, we’ll be covering every appearance of the character from Action Comics 1 forward.

In this first episode, I take some time to introduce myself and the purpose of the show, but then we get down to business examining the first issue of Action Comics, focusing on the Superman story, but also taking a brief look at the rest of the contents of the issue.

For now, each episode will simply consist of an Action Comics synopsis and review.  Down the road, when there are multiple issues per month, I’ll cover those as well, grouping issues into episodes according to release date.  Most of Superman’s titles were not monthly, so cover dates are sometimes hard to classify, so we’ll stick to approximate release dates of the issues.

I hope you enjoy the ride.  Golden Age Superman is a proud member of the Superman Podcast Network.  You can follow the show on Facebook or subscribe to it on iTunes.  If you wish to send feedback, you may do so below or via email.  Thank you for listening!
