In this chilling episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven delve into The Midsummer Snowstorm from Action Comics #30 (1940), where an unseasonal snowstorm in Metropolis sets the stage for a jaw-dropping Golden Age adventure. Superman uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving globe-shaped weapons, mysterious radium-powered technology, and a villainous mastermind named Zolar.

As Superman battles through a gauntlet of disintegrating weapons, aerial assaults, and a shocking betrayal from an unexpected source, the story takes on an epic, cinematic quality unlike anything seen before. With Flash Gordon-esque stratoships filling the skies and an army of villains bent on destruction, Superman leaps into action to save the day in spectacular fashion.

This tale is packed with drama, sci-fi intrigue, and unforgettable moments—like Superman snapping a massive ship in half with his bare hands! Tune in as Ed and Steeven explore the story’s cinematic flair, groundbreaking art by Jack Burnley, and a narrative that takes Superman storytelling to a thrilling new level.

Action Comics #30 was published by DC Comics in September, 1940.
