In this episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dive into one of Metropolis’s darkest criminal conspiracies — a case so bizarre, so sprawling, and so brutal that it stretches from hospital wards in the city to the cliffside tribes of South America. It begins like any nightmare: victims collapsing within minutes, skin turning yellow, their minds slipping into panic before death closes in. A 100% fatality rate — and no clues. Or so it seems. 

When a dying man gasps a single word — Chirroba — the investigation cracks open. Suddenly Clark and Lois find themselves drawn into a deadly web involving a cult of witch doctors, starved wolves, sabotage, and gangsters hiding behind tribal power. Even the police are forced into violence as the plague drives ordinary people to attack with axes, leaving officers no choice but to “put them down.” 

As Steeven and Ed dig through the evidence, they uncover the shocking truth: the outbreak wasn’t natural at all. 

From violent outbreaks to dynamite murders, from deception to a desperate chase for the cure, this is a case file unlike anything Metropolis has ever seen. And only one man can bring the criminals to justice — even if he has to drill through the Earth, fling wolves about by the tail, or retrieve a kidnapped prince chained in a cave full of snakes to do it. 

This is The Yellow Plague from Superman #11: conspiracy, murder, and mystery at Golden Age speed. Tune in… if you think you can handle the truth.

Superman #11 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.

Exploding out of the Golden Age and straight into your ear-holes, Ed and Steeven go full throttle into The Corinthville Caper, the second of four stories to appear in Superman #11 from 1941!

Think giant apes, a coiling serpent, a suspicious scientist with secrets buried beneath his lab, and a reporter with a plan so rotten it explodes into violence — all set against cliffside chases, cave-in rescues, and Superman doing what he does best: punching problems into tomorrow.

Ed and Steeven unpack the zaniness, the mangled artwork, the Scooby-Doo reveal, and the momentary moral panic that sends an entire town stampeding before ole Supes swoops in to save the day.

Buckle up — this one’s loud, ridiculous, and impossible to look away from. Tune in for fists, fables, and the finest Golden-Age nonsense this side of Metropolis.

Superman #11 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.

Strap in as Ed and Steeven dive headfirst into Zimba’s Gold Badge Terrorists, the blistering Golden-Age Superman yarn from Superman #11 from May of 1941. 

Cower in terror as the suburban town of Metrodale is blasted to rubble!

A brass-knuckled demagogue named Rolf Zimba and his fanatical Gold Badge Organization demand obedience, and the Daily Planet refuses to bow. Perry lands a jaw-cracking haymaker, Lois gets snatched and hauled aboard an invisible plane, and Superman goes full-cloak-and-dagger—twisting his face into Zimba’s, baiting an all-in meeting, and springing a trap that sends the whole racket to the slammer.

But the drama doesn’t stop there: the real Zimba kidnaps Lois, Superman hunts an invisible aircraft by sound, and the sky-borne climax explodes into a pulpy, cliffhanger-worthy finish.

Prepare for combustible banter, Ed’s righteous fury, Steeven’s delightfully distracted tangents, and a spoiler-filled deep dive that savages plot holes while celebrating the weird, wonderful guts of early Superman.

Turn it up and yank off the knob because this is the type hi-voltage serial-style romp you won’t want to miss.

Dial A for Adventure as Ed and Steeven tear into another action packed Golden Age Superman tale with Radio Control, the Superman tale that appears in Action Comics #38 from 1941.

But first, hold on for dear life as the Super Guys trade incendiary political riffs and veer off on pop-culture detours, all before going full detective on a Superman yarn where ordinary citizens — a mailman, a bank president and even Lois Lane — are turned into dastardly criminals by a mysterious radio signal.

Superman traces the broadcasts to psychologist Harold Morton, flips the hypnotic switch, and forces the villain into the hands of the law in a climax that’s equal parts pulp thriller and Golden-Age bonkers adventure. 

Prepare yourself for laugh-out-loud banter, Ed’s trademark righteous fury, Steeven’s delightfully distracted tangents, and a spoiler-filled deep dive that savages plot holes and celebrates the weird brilliance of early Superman.

Hyperbolic? Absolutely.

Essential listening? Unquestionably.

Plug in for nearly two hours of vintage comics edification served with a healthy side of combustible humor.

Don't miss it!

WARNING: This episode contains sustained, salty language and volcanic tirades — primarily courtesy of Ed — and Steeven freely admits he loves every furious, profanity-soaked second of it. If you’re allergic to swearing, consider this your bat signal to proceed with caution. If you enjoy raw, unfiltered political rage wrapped in sharp humor, bring earplugs for the sensibilities of those around you and crank it up.

Brace yourself!! This extra special bonus episode of The Superman Super Show detonates like a political firecracker!!

Ed and Steeven go a bit unhinged, ripping into the state of American politics with a mix of furious wit, hard truths, and the kind of blunt, profanity-laced riffs that make a podcast feel dangerously alive. From dismantling dishonest rhetoric to riffing on how elected officials dodge accountability, the pair dig deep into the uglier corners of modern governance — with Ed delivering volcanic bursts of righteous fury and Steeven grinning like someone who knows he’s hearing the best line of the night.

Along the way they name-check the Atlantic’s Autocracy in America podcast and its Episode One: Start With a Lie — a timely lens for everything these fellas are shouting about — and even riff on media-bias sites like AllSides.com while trying to make sense of how truth gets bent and bargains get made.

If you’ve ever wanted to hear two friends sort through outrage, hypocrisy, and policy with no safety rails, this is the one. 

Hit play for a bonus episode that’s part rant, part civic critique, and entirely unmissable.

Recorded live and dripping with pulpy paranoia, Ed and Steeven plunge into a Metropolis gripped by a secret crime wave — thugs in ominous armbands, a citizens’ committee that might be more dangerous than the crooks, and a twist that will make you double-take the man behind the moustache.

In this episode the Super Fellas blow the dust off World’s Finest Comics #2 and race from rooftop brawls and mid-air stunts to a high-seas showdown where nothing — and nobody — is what they first appear to be. 

Expect crackling play-by-play, gleeful nitpicks about Golden Age logic, and laugh-out-loud moments as Superman goes detective (and Clark goes full-nosy reporter) while Lois delivers one of the finest takedowns of cowardice in comics history. From a propeller-perched interrogation to a yacht reveal that'll make your jaw drop, Steeven and Ed treat every panel like it's a cliffhanger and then crank the suspense to eleven.

If you like your nostalgia with extra punch, conspiracy, and affectionate mockery, this is your jam. Tune in for punches, paranoias, and the satisfying moment when the Unknown X is unmasked — and then stick around for Ed and Steeven's sharp, hyperbolic dissection of how — and why — 1941 comics told their stories with such wild confidence.

Enjoy!

World’s Finest Comics #2 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.

In this, out third Bonus Episode, the Super Guys banter away about the James Gunn Superman movie, which neither of them (at the time) have seen.

Additional boisterous banter includes: Why Steeven is watching Supernatural again, recasting the role of Superman, using the Superman movie to stir the political pot, suddenly realizing how White TV Shows like Friends and Seinfeld are, What the fellas are (or are not) watching on the TV, who is Captain America, and who the Hell did the voice of Batman in the 1992 animated series.

So buckle in and all the pre-flight jibber-jabber because this trip into random geekiness is taking off!

Enjoy.

Recorded live with the energy of a high-voltage radio drama, and then hammered into shape with more cuts and edits than a big budget theatrical extravaganza, Episode 87 of The Superman Super Show beats no where near the bush and speeds right into the heart-stopping mayhem of Commissioner Kent from Action Comics #37.

Metropolis erupts into violent chaos.

As racketeers run free, armored cars are robbed, and three civil servants fall to bullets and bombs in jaw-dropping succession, only one unlikely hero can brave the streets: mild-mannered Clark Kent, newly appointed Commissioner of Police.

When a dingy alley ambush and a firebomb in City Hall fail to claim his life, Kent sheds his suit and reveals that his desk job comes with super-charged insurance as he transforms into Superman to deliver bone-crushing justice and rescue the mayor from burning ruin.

In a whirlwind of assassination plots, exploding briefcases and gas-filled car ramps, Steeven and Ed unpack every twist—laughing at the absurdity of a single day that sees more explosive action than a summer blockbuster.

Tune in for a pulse-pounding, hyperbolic thrill ride that proves even the darkest conspiracies in Metropolis can’t outmatch the Man of Steel’s indomitable spirit!

Action Comics #37 was published by DC Comics in April of 1941.
