Adventures of Superman \xe2 1938-1951

This juvenile adventure series was first broadcast on Mutual in 1940 with Clayton (Bud) Collyer starring as Superman/Clark Kent. It first began as a fifteen-minute show but later, in 1949, it moved to ABC as a thirty-minute Saturday show with Michael Fitzmaurice as Superman. At the end of its thirteen-year run it had totalled over 1600 episodes. The opening for the show was one of radio\xe2s best, setting the stage for those flights into fantasy with a cascade of voices, narration and sound effects. \xe2Faster than a speeding bullet!
