Superman in Action Comics [Guest: Ken Reid of TV GUIDANCE COUNSELOR]

Action Comics #421 (1973)

The mighty Ken Reid of the TV GUIDANCE COUNSELOR podcast joins the show for a second time as we chat about a really weird Superman book featuring a Popeye stand-in and alien seaweed as well as a Green Arrow backup where he fails terribly at his own public relations:

Highlights include:

• Corporate espionage
• Superman’s taxi cab fetish
• Gene Hackman is jealous over all this surveillance gear
• Mafioso-laundered comic book transactions
• That kid looks like Belinda Carlisle
• Superman fights a whirlpool

Check out Ken Reid as he opens for Todd Barry on the following dates:

• Weds February 18th @ Syracuse Funny Bone Comedy Club (TICKETS)
• Thurs February 19th @ Albany Funny Bone Comedy Club (TICKETS)
• Sat February 21st @ The Comedy Studio [Cambridge, MA — 2 SHOWS] (TICKETS)
