Superman Radio Drama




Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the Man of Tomorrow first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938. The following year, the newspaper comic strip began and four audition radio programs were prepared to sell Superman as a radio series. When Superman was first heard on radio less than two years after the comic book appearance, the character took on an added dimension with Bud Collyer in the title role. During World War II and the post-war years, the juvenile adventure radio serial, sponsored by Kellogg’s Pep, was a huge success, with many listeners following the quest for “truth and justice” in the daily radio broadcasts, the comic book stories and the newspaper comic strip.

Over the past couple years Adam Graham has dedicated his Podcast over at TalkShoe to these classic gems of yesteryear as he gives a little commentary before each installment.
