Action Comics #28
In "The Strongarm Assaults," Superman faces a new threat as the mysterious Strongarm targets cities across the East Coast, all while the Man of Steel's radio adventures take flight—promoted in this issue with a full-page ad listing 14 stations airing the Superman radio show, sponsored by Force cereal. The story, illustrated with bold, dynamic lines by Joe Shuster, captures the hero’s early days with a crisp, energetic style that defines the era. The cover by Paul Cassidy delivers a striking, action-packed image that mirrors the excitement of the broadcast craze spreading across America.
In "The Strongarm Assaults," Clark Kent and Lois Lane follow a trail of circus-themed robberies, convinced the culprit is the towering strongman from the traveling show—until Superman steps in to reveal the truth behind the crimes.
