Ancient Geeks, episode 2: Superman in the 60s and 70s
Look! Up in the sky! It's the Superman episode!
Last time, we covered the Caped Crusader in the 60s and 70s last time. This episode, we talk about Superman in the same time period, on TV and in the comics.
See a man dangling from a zeppelin, in glorious black and white on The Adventures of Superman! Thrill as Superman fights Luthor, then he becomes a caveman, Jimmy turns into porcupine, and Lois demands his execution! Learn why, in spite of all these bizarre plots, Superman remained a beloved icon! And hear how the Superman movie catapulted the Man of Steel to even greater popularity!
