Strap in, folks, because this episode is pure gold! Ed and Steeven dig deep into the thrilling 1941 Superman adventure, The Guybart Gold Mine, from Action Comics #35, and trust us—this one’s got everything: stock market schemes, airborne piracy, underground peril, and enough secret identities to make your head spin!
Lois Lane gets tangled in a mystery when an elderly couple seeks her help over some suspiciously sought-after mining stock. Before she knows it, she’s dodging thugs, boarding planes under threat of mid-air shootouts, and getting buried alive in a so-called worthless mine! Meanwhile, Superman does what he does best—stopping bullets mid-air, flinging gangsters like ragdolls, and ripping the wings off airplanes because one just isn’t enough.
But what’s the real secret behind the Guybart Mine? Why is a man with a suspiciously removable scar so interested in keeping everyone away? And will Superman ever fight someone who can actually stand a chance against him?
Join us as we break down the action, point out the absurdity, and try (and fail) to tell all these cowboy-hat-wearing villains apart. It’s a rip-roaring, fist-flying, gold-grabbing good time!
Action Comics #35 was published by DC Comics in February, 1941.
