For Paul and Arlo, existential crises and comic books often go hand-in-hand. Such is the case for this week's freestyle, wherein Paul's rumination on the erosion of his teenage self-confidence leads into a discussion of superhero mags. Paul tells Goblin punks to fuck off as he rocks out to Cody Ziglar and Justin Mason's Spider-Punk, goes undercover with Kelly Thompson and Elena Casagrande's recently wrapped run on Black Widow, and cloaks himself in Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio's Moon Knight. Meanwhile, Arlo rides on horseback through more goofy Silver Age Superman.   NEXT: we will continue to spiral.   MUSIC “I Just Wasn't Made For These Times” by The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds (1966) “Running Water” by Daniel Johnston, Hi, How Are You (1983) “A Horse with No Name” by America, America (1971)     GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ youth: thetrevorproject.org Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  US (877) 565-8860 Canada (877) 330-6366 National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Advocate for writers who might be owed money due to discontinuance of royalties: https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/  Help teachers and classrooms in need: https://www.donorschoose.org/ Do your part to remove the burden of medical debt for individuals, families, and veterans: https://ripmedicaldebt.org/ Register to vote: https://vote.gov/

Denis reads one of his oldest Superman comics in possession! Superman #125, Superman gets a new power where he shoots rainbows out of his fingertips! But that's not all! This Silver Age comic also has a story about Lois dreaming that she has powers after a Superman blood transfusion, then also Clark Kent gets powers! The second story in the book is about Clark Kent in college with a professor that is sure Clark is Superboy, and he puts everyone at risk to prove it! Lastly, we get the cover story- Superman's new power is a tiny Superman that comes out of his hand! It's wacky!

In this episode, we go over the final Silver Age Superman story, "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow," by Alan Moore and Curt Swan. This took place in Superman 423 and Action Comics #583, right before John Byrne rebooted Superman with "The Man of Steel."

Case Aiken and Jmike Folson are joined by "Co-Host at Large", Geoff Moonen to begin their journey to gush about every iteration of Superman with the iconic Silver Age incarnation.

Superman: The Movie. The late 70s left an indelible mark on cinema, Jaws, 2001 and Star Wars shattered the limitations of what we thought of as possible on the big screen but they wouldn't be the last as Richard Donner and his take on the original superhero would make you believe a man could fly. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Bruce Gibson and John Mills to talk about Superman: The Movie as it turns 40. We discuss our first flights, putting the movie together, Krypton, Brando, Smallville, the lesson, the end, the cast, timeline, John Williams and our ratings.

If you want to understand the basis for the modern take on Superman, you have to start with Richard Donner's 1978 film and John Byrne's 1986 comic book miniseries. The Crisis on Infinite Earths had just ended, the Silver Age Superman had bid everyone farewell, and it was time to establish a Superman for the modern age. In this episode, I review the 6-issue miniseries and talk about what it did well, its flaws, and whether or not Superman is still relevant today.

Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow with a Spidey twist."Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" is a 1986 comic book story featuring the DC Comics character of Superman. Written by Alan Moore with help from long-timeSuperman editor, Julius Schwartz, the story was published in two parts, beginning inSuperman #423 and ending in Action Comics #583, both published in September 1986. The story was drawn by long-time artist Curt Swan, in his final major contribution to the Superman titles, and was inked by George Pérez in the issue of Superman and Kurt Schaffenberger in the issue of Action Comics. The story was an imaginary tale which told the final story of the Silver Age Superman and his long history,[1] which was beingrebooted following the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, before his modern introduction in the John Byrne series, The Man of Steel.

In this week's adventure, the curtain rises on one of the oldest of the old as Magnus gabs, jabbers and yammers about Action Comics #252! This is one of the most important Silver Age Superman comics ever and generally one of the most important Silver Age comics of all time. There's more inventiveness, creativity and imagination in this one issue than in entire years' worth of new comics. It's nothing but a Silver Age lovefest as Magnus rambles virtually nonstop about this amazing issue. Due to the avalanche of rugged awesomeness in this week's show, unfortunately there was just no time for listener feedback this week. A plan has been formed to be deal with the backlog of feedback but it's far too early to go into details beyond that. Even so, fear not, loyal subjects! Your leader will reveal all in due course.

Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor.

Finally back with a new episode.  It's Silver Age Superman time with Superboy #127.  I also talk about some trips to some comic shops. (17:55) Alliance Comics Atomic Books Legends Comics and Games Collectors Corner Also, watch comic artist Jose Villarubia's promotional video for his town:

I present a Silver Age Superman segment on Superman #153.  I also have a Brave and the Bold Run With It! epilogue segment on Brave and the Bold #120, as it features Batman AND Kamandi in one crazy issue.  Finally, some recent finds, including the book Supermen! The First Wave of Comic Book Heroes 1936-1941. Oh, yeah-- and JJ lurks in the background... (22:28)

Before I get to the main feature of this episode, I babble on about things that I've been enjoying, like the Hammer Horror Films and Terry Pratchett's Discworld Books. I also talk about a book that I didn't enjoy so much, DC's Lightning Saga Graphic Novel. And then, to wash the evil taint from our mouths, I wax poetic about the wonderful FREE comic book downloads at WOWIO. The main segment this time was inspired by my friend Aaron Macom of the SciFiDig Podcast, who was telling me how much he enjoys the rundowns I did of the Silver Age Superman comics. Well! Don't let it be said that I don't pay attention to my listener! So I asked him if it would be alright if it wasn't a Superman comic, and he said, "sure." Being that I've lately developed a very unhealthy longing to read the superhero revival comics from the "OTHER" companies, I chose one of the Archie superhero titles, and no, I don't mean from their mid 60's revival of their golden age heroes like The Shield, the Hangman, etc., NO! I'm go on to tell you about one of the comics wherein Archie himself becomes Pureheart the Powerful! I want to acknowledge the invaluable information for this segment that I garnered from the wonderful Don Markstein's Toonopedia website, a treasure trove of information on old comics, comic strips, and cartoons (all the things I love to talk about here!) And then lastly, I have a sort of rerun. Since I stopped doing the Indie Comic Book Noise podcast over at Derek Coward's Comic Book Noise podcast network, I've still been submitting Small Press segments for the show. Derek has been kind enough to include them in the show, but I suspect that my audience here does not cross over with the ICBN, so I'm "re-running" those segments here, a few weeks later. This time out, I talk about the works of Justin Madson, the creator of the various comics that can be found at Just Mad Books.

I must once again issue my manifesto against those who think they are owed or entitled to something from my podcast.  Regular friends of the CBA need not concern yourselves with the first half of the podcast.  After that, it's time for the Silver Age Superman review of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #104.

A few thanks.  A Silver Age Superman review of World's Finest Comics #155.  (26:17) All cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders.
