Superman Used to Be a Super Jerk - Comic Tropes (Episode 88)

This episode delves into Superman's origins. In his first year of stories by his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman battled the ills of 1939 American society. But he sure seemed to do so in a reckless and haphazard manner! It was likely intended as satire and it was certainly entertaining but 80 years later some of it has become funny because of how it's aged. Superman is essentially a giant jerk to everyone.

In this episode I mention my Patreon which you can find here. I post regular blogs about behind-the-scenes stuff and also the occasional extra video or poll.

I also recommend a Kickstarter for a fantastic comic book by my late friend Jeremy. I'll be contributing a pinup. It's a great read and a great value:
