Get ready to dive into the pulpy charm of the Golden Age as we crack open “Action Comics #5” - original home to Superman’s battle with the Valleyho Dam! Whether it’s morning, evening, or somewhere in between, join your intrepid hosts as we obsess over feisty damsels, bold adventure, and superhero myth-making at its finest. Expect tangents on radio dramas, thought balloons, and some rogue speculating (is Superman, secretly, Super-Moses?). This episode will make the old new again!

Below the paywall, you’ll find an article expanding on the topics discussed in the video. Namely, the history of word and thought balloons and some thoughts on Superman, Lois, Clark love triangle.
