Superman #5: Part One (1940) | The Slot Machine Racket | 40

The Superman Super Show!

In this high-stakes episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven roll the dice on The Slot Machine Racket from Superman #5 (1940)! When Superman discovers a ruthless racketeer using rigged slot machines to exploit Metropolis’s youth, he springs into action to put an end to the scheme.

Clark Kent and Lois Lane dive headfirst into the story, confronting the crook behind the racket, Slug Kelly. But when bribes don’t work, Kelly tries intimidation—only to find himself on the wrong side of the Man of Steel. Superman barrels through Kelly’s operation like a force of nature, smashing machines, dodging traps, and taking the fight straight to the criminals.

This action-packed story features daring rescues, shady dealings, and even Superman dangling a crook over a rooftop to extract a confession! It’s Golden Age justice at its finest, with all the twists, turns, and wild antics you’ve come to expect from Superman.

Join Ed and Steeven as they dive deep into this thrilling tale and explore why Superman’s early adventures remain timeless classics!

Superman #5 was published by DC Comics in May, 1940.
