Host Anthony Desiato celebrates the milestone 150th episode of the podcast with a sprawling new event: “A Superboy Fan Journey,” examining the concept of Clark Kent as Superboy across time and media.
In this kickoff episode, Anthony and guest Rich Roney ponder some big-picture questions about “the adventures of Superman when he was a boy” and share their feelings about this aspect of the mythology.
Later in the episode, Tyler Patrick (Krypton Report) tags in as he and Anthony break down a quartet of key Golden Age Superboy tales: the origin from “More Fun Comics” no.101, the “Perry White, Cub Reporter” story from “Adventure Comics” no.120, Lana Lang’s first appearance in “Superboy” no.10, and Krypto the Super-Dog’s debut in “Adventure Comics” no.210.
