In this whirlwind episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dissect the action-packed Golden Age tale, Professor Cobalt's Clinic, from Action Comics #26! When the phony Professor Cobalt tries to buy ad space in the Daily Planet for his bogus clinic, he unleashes a cascade of chaos that only Superman can stop.

What starts as a quack doctor’s scheme to peddle snake oil quickly escalates into a web of kidnappings, deceptions, and death-defying escapes. With Lois Lane undercover to expose the scam, Clark Kent faces his most frantic challenge yet. From snapping canes in anger to executing daring feats of stealth and strength, Superman juggles rescuing Lois, dismantling the clinic’s operation, and even saving lives from near-certain doom.

Packed with wild moments—like Superman punching a flying house during a hurricane—and frenetic pacing, this story is pure Golden Age madness. Ed and Steeven break it all down, celebrating the absurdity and adrenaline that make these early Superman adventures unforgettable.

Tune in for larger-than-life antics, heartfelt banter, and all the over-the-top excitement you expect from the Man of Steel!

Action Comics #26 was published by DC Comics in May, 1940.
