It's time once again to grab your Superman Snuggie, cozy up by the fireplace and celebrate the season with The Thrilling Adventures of Superman Christmas Spectacular! In this episode, Michael shares two holiday-themed pieces, a selection of Christmas music and some seasonal memories... all to brighten your holiday. Merry Christmas!

Does a lack of sight heighten the other senses? The Man of Steel better hopes so given the menace he faces as Michael looks at the 19th storyline from the radio serial. And maybe "looks" isn't the right word since the Daily Planet's crusade against a corrupt bureaucrat leads Superman into a clash with... the Invisible Man! How can our hero defeat a villain he can't even see?!

It's back to this spinner rack this time out as Michael looks at the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #32. A rescue of a suicidal man leads Superman into a brand new adventure full of thrills, suspense and... product placement?! Hold on to your allowances, kids!

This episode, Michael is joined by Michael Bailey for star-spangled look at four brand new and (mostly) awesome Superman stories from SUPERMAN #8. These stories see the Man of Steel taking on a plethora of foes, including towering giants, a murder wrap, carnival racketeers and the very justice system itself in his crusade as champion of the oppressed. It's, perhaps, the best issue of SUPERMAN yet. Don't miss out!

This time, Michael concludes his look at a story so big that it couldn't be contained by just one episode. Continuing on from episode 88, the 18th storyline from the Superman radio show showcases Superman once more squaring off against the diabolical genius of the Yellow Mask!

The show is back and so is a very familiar foe! A strange occurrence on a train ride home catapults Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen into their latest adventure as an enemy from the past rise to once more plague the Man of Steel. Alliances are formed and loved ones are threatened as Michael begins a look at the 18th storyline from the Superman radio serial!

Clark Kent accompanies Lois Lane to the nearby town of Brentville. They find the town is, literally, a sleepy little town as everyone who enters inexplicably is sent to Dreamland. Can the Daily Planet's finest, with a little help from Superman, unravel the mystery? Find out as Michael looks at the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #31!

At long last, we return to the four-color, Sunday incarnation of the Superman newspaper strip, with a look at the serial's sixth storyline. When Lois Lane receives an inheritance of a piece of land, little does she know that danger awaits! Can Superman speed to the rescue in time? And just why is this storyline so familiar?

There's a special treat this episode as we examine Superman's growing popularity when co-creator Jerry Siegel pays a visit to "The Fred Allen Show" to discuss his most-famous creation. Then, Superman himself ventures into the real world and takes "The Boss" Harry Donenfeld for a flight!
