In this explosive episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven tackle the politically charged tale The Campaign Against the Planet from Superman #5 published in 1940! Corrupt politician Alex Evell (yes, that’s really his name) launches a vicious assault on the Daily Planet, using everything from dirty propaganda to full-blown sabotage to silence the newspaper’s crusade for justice.

When Evell’s smear campaign and hired goons threaten the Planet’s circulation and even Lois Lane’s safety, Superman steps in to set things right. From smashing delivery truck blockades to rescuing Lois from a fiery trap, the Man of Steel pulls out all the stops to expose Evell’s underhanded schemes. But when Superman tries his signature move—forcing a confession—Evell refuses to crack, leaving it to his betrayed henchmen to seal his fate.

This story is packed with Golden Age flair, from rooftop leaps with delivery trucks to the hilariously dramatic antics of Metropolis’s most questionable criminals. Join Ed and Steeven as they break down the action, celebrate Superman’s one-liners, and marvel at how this classic tale still packs a punch!

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