Superman Forever Radio Episode 61- Superman’s Pal

DOWNLOAD EPISODE 61- SUPERMAN’S PAL

sfr61album

This time around, we focus on Jimmy Olsen, Superman‘s Pal.

In a quartet of stories, we visit a silver-age Jimmy as he solves a mystery, with the clock ticking. From there, it’s off to the 30th century as Elastic Lad Teams up with the Legion of Superheroes.

And then, to the turn of the century as an older, and wiser Jimmy solves a mystery as editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, and finally the man of action must track down his famous signal watch.
