In this mind-bending episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dive into Luthor's Incense Menace from Superman #5 (1940), where the Man of Steel faces one of Lex Luthor’s most diabolical plots yet. A wave of sudden unemployment is sweeping Metropolis, and the answer seems to lie in an unusual narcotic-laced incense that’s controlling the city’s business elite.

Tune in for Ed and Steeven’s breakdown of the action, the laughs, and the sheer chaos of one of Superman’s most frenetic early adventures!
