Shownotes

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 #101, the "Perry White, Cub Reporter" story from ADVENTURE COMICS #120, Lana Lang's first appearance in SUPERBOY #10, and Krypto the Super-Dog's debut in ADVENTURE COMICS #210.

Next week: Superboy in the Silver Age of comics!
