CD Reviews
Superman's finest radio series
Zack Davisson | Seattle, WA, USA | 05/05/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have several collections or Superman on radio, and this is the cream of the crop. Superman gets to test his might against a true super-villain. The Atom Man has Kryptonite flowing through his veins, which gives him mighty atomic power. Bodies begin to pile up, including both Superman's allies and enemies. Superman is powerless simply standing next to him.I have to admit that some of the Superman radio shows can be a little cheesy, and are best heard through a filter of nostalgia. This one is really exciting. I was actually in suspense as to how, or even if, Superman would survive."
On of the best Superman stories of all time

"Every historian should listen to this serial. It gives a glipse into the mindset of the America before our time and how it related to the Second World War just after War's End. It is also a very exciting Superman story. I wish all of the Superman on Radio stories were made available. Anyone reading this who can help this happen?"
One of the Best Superman Stories of all time
Zack Davisson | 01/11/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
""Superman vs. Atom Man" is a powerful and exciting radio drama. It's full of suspense and adventure. In this classic story, Superman has to face off against the kryptonite powered Atom Man who has the power to destroy stadiums and level forests with his atomic kryptonite. The story is extremely suspenseful as it slowly builds up to its climax, a battle between Superman and the Atom Man with thousands of lives at stake. The end battle has to be one of the most dramatic sequences in radio thanks to the amazing acting and sound effects. This is a must have for any fan of old time radio shows or any Superman fan in general."
Tremendous exciting radio for Superman fans of ALL ages!

"The serial is regarded as the greatest story line in all of juvenile kids radio. And it lives up to that lofty billing. Superman vs. Atom Man is truly exciting radio, well written and extremely well acted. Bud Collyer as Superman/Clark Kent and Mason Adams as Henry Miller/The Atom Man are superb. Just exciting radio that would be great for the entire family to listen to."
