In this milestone 50th episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dive into Racketeering Terror in Gateston from Superman #6 (1940), where a small town becomes the battleground for a ruthless racketeering operation!

When mobster Brute Bashby takes control of Gateston, silencing the local press and terrorizing the townsfolk, it’s up to Superman to expose the corruption and save the day. With Lois Lane in the thick of the action, uncovering the hidden mastermind behind the operation, things heat up quickly—especially when a car bombing nearly claims her life!

Superman, as relentless as ever, dismantles the gang’s schemes with a mix of brute strength and clever tactics. From saving Lois from explosive traps to turning the criminals’ own weapons against them, the Man of Steel delivers a satisfying dose of Golden Age justice.

Join Ed and Steeven as they unpack this action-packed tale of mobster mayhem, fearless reporting, and Superman’s unwavering commitment to truth and justice!

Superman #6 was published by DC Comics in July, 1940.

Enjoy!
