CLASSIC UBA #1 - Superman 233

Professor Alan could not get a new episode out this week. And since the earliest episodes have dropped off the iTunes feed, it seemed like a good idea to re-post an old classic episode! Here it is ... Uncovering the Bronze Age #1!
-----------------------------------------
Em makes her first foray into the Bronze Age of Comics with Superman 233: Superman Breaks Loose and the Kryptonite Nevermore Arc.
Denny O'Neil? Team Swanderson? SCIENCE?!
Awesome.
