DC Secret Files Podcast Vol. VII: The Life Story of Superman

 WordPress ✪ Spotify ✪ Internet Archive ✪ YouTube ✪ 🍏podcasts ✪

The seventh episode of our DC SECRET FILES podcast — the show that dares to tackle DC Comics’ greatest creations in encyclopedic form! Each episode, Frank will be joined by a special guest, in this case, Dr Pop Culture USA (A.K.A. Professor Charles “Chuck” Coletta,) to cover characters and concepts from across DC’s history. Our discussion of the given property will be married to a piece of original art commissioned by DC to spotlight the same. This time around, we chat about 1979’s “The Life Story of Superman” from Action Comics #500, by Martin Pasko, Curt Swan, Frank Chiaramonte, & company; reprinted as the 1983 Tor Books mass market paperback The Superman Story. Plus we read YOUR feedback on previous shows!
