In this pulse-pounding episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven delve into The Phony Pacifists from Superman #9 (1941), where Superman faces a tangled web of espionage, sabotage, and deceit! Lois and Clark stumble upon a secret military depot, only to find themselves entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. Lois is arrested for espionage, while a shadowy group of spies launches a series of attacks to destroy the depot and cripple the nation’s defenses.

But they didn’t count on the Man of Steel. From leaping off buildings without a sound to infiltrating the enemy’s ranks, Superman takes on the sinister Committee Against Militarism and their leader, the devious Derwing. With submarine showdowns, daring rescues, and lightning-fast takedowns, Superman proves once again why he’s the ultimate force for justice—even when the odds are stacked against him.
