Action Comics #497 (1979)

Since he’s got a big movie coming out, let’s keep it going with the Man of Steel here on WCE with a Bronze Age tale of Superman finding himself at the whims of three kids and an inter-dimensional imp convening in a modest shack in Kansas.

You see, one of these kids needs life-changing surgery so the imp is letting these youngsters conjure up all sorts of perilous tasks like flaming meteors filled with Kryptonite and forced alien dissections. There has to be an easier way to do this but why bother when you can put countless living being in some sort of peril.

We also got Scottish pirates, that one kid from STRANGER THINGS, tactless hotel doormen and a nearly tragic birthday surprise for Clark.

Plus, Jen and Shawn discuss Metallica at Mile High Stadium and the shocking appearance of really good Mister Miracle cosplay in a random 80’s horror flick.
