Action Comics #46
In "The Devil's Playground," Joe Shuster's art brings to life a world where Superman's radio show is sweeping the nation—44 U.S. stations, plus ones in Newfoundland and 26 across Canada, are broadcasting the Man of Steel's adventures, with sponsors listed in bold. The issue's cover by Fred Ray captures the era's excitement, inviting readers to write their local stations and join the growing audience tuning in to Superman's voice.
In "Crimes in Color," the Rainbow Man and his gang wield a mysterious Rainbow Globe to commit crimes under a veil of dazzling color, throwing the law into confusion. When Jo discovers their scheme, he’s captured, forcing the Vigilante to act before the gang’s next strike.
