Dial A for Adventure as Ed and Steeven tear into another action packed Golden Age Superman tale with Radio Control, the Superman tale that appears in Action Comics #38 from 1941.

But first, hold on for dear life as the Super Guys trade incendiary political riffs and veer off on pop-culture detours, all before going full detective on a Superman yarn where ordinary citizens — a mailman, a bank president and even Lois Lane — are turned into dastardly criminals by a mysterious radio signal.

Superman traces the broadcasts to psychologist Harold Morton, flips the hypnotic switch, and forces the villain into the hands of the law in a climax that’s equal parts pulp thriller and Golden-Age bonkers adventure. 

Prepare yourself for laugh-out-loud banter, Ed’s trademark righteous fury, Steeven’s delightfully distracted tangents, and a spoiler-filled deep dive that savages plot holes and celebrates the weird brilliance of early Superman.

Hyperbolic? Absolutely.

Essential listening? Unquestionably.

Plug in for nearly two hours of vintage comics edification served with a healthy side of combustible humor.

Don't miss it!

Action Comics #38 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.
