In this twist-filled episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dive into The Life Insurance Con from Action Comics #29 (1940), where a seemingly simple case of tainted aspirin unravels into a web of murder, insurance fraud, and hidden conspiracies!
When Clark Kent and Lois Lane visit an elderly woman named Mrs. Davis, their investigation takes a dark turn after a neighbor meets a sudden and suspicious end. As Superman steps in to stop a mob-fueled riot, he uncovers a sinister plot masterminded by ruthless criminals manipulating the system for profit. But with Lois getting herself into hot water—again—Superman’s investigative skills and superhuman strength are put to the ultimate test.
From poisoned pills to high-stakes showdowns, this Golden Age gem delivers plenty of action, intrigue, and jaw-dropping twists. Tune in as Ed and Steeven unravel the chaos, celebrate Jack Burnley’s stellar artwork, and discuss why Golden Age Superman is as fascinating as ever!
Action Comics #29 was published by DC Comics in August, 1940.
