In this gripping episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven tackle Brentwood Home for Wayward Youth from Action Comics #27 (1940), where Superman confronts corruption and cruelty at a "rehabilitation" home that’s anything but.
What starts as a seemingly innocent investigation by Clark Kent and Lois Lane quickly unravels into a sinister tale of child labor, brutal punishments, and an old couple running the show with iron fists—and a guard dog named Black Satan! When Lois and a young boy named Davey are imprisoned in the facility’s horrifying conditions, Superman charges in to dismantle the operation.
From biting off red-hot fire pokers to deflecting bullets like marbles, the Man of Steel delivers justice in his signature quippy, over-the-top style. But it’s not just about the action—this story highlights Superman’s unwavering compassion for the vulnerable and his unrelenting determination to root out evil, no matter where it hides.
Join Ed and Steeven as they break down this wild, action-packed adventure filled with suspense, heroics, and a few laugh-out-loud moments that prove why Superman is the ultimate Golden Age icon!
Action Comics #27 was published by DC Comics in June, 1940.
