Includes episode logs for radio and television, complete storylines
for two unproduced TV episodes, and dozens of "deleted scenes"
taken right from the scripts! "Michael J. Hayde significantly
broadens our empathy for The Man of Steel through his profound
revelations surrounding an imposing figure based on popular myth.
In a meticulously researched discourse, he supplies the gaps about
a character that became a mid 20th century hero to the nation's
boys and girls. Hayde probes the backgrounds of the real-life
individuals behind-the-scenes and before the microphones and
cameras that intensified that aura. In breezy, comprehensive style,
he focuses on the radio and TV manifestations while interweaving
timely inferences from the newspaper strip, comics, books, film and
other formats plus a prosperous merchandising trade. Lovers of the
genre of juvenile adventures are rewarded by the author's efforts
to expose how one man wearing a cape and bearing incredible
strength could pervade an impressionable younger generation and a
society that pursued his exploits intensely." - Jim Cox, author of
Radio Crime Fighters "With so many books about Superman out there,
it's pleasing to know that one book has everything you'd want to
know under one cover. Trivia, background production and numerous
behind-the-scenes stories make this a must-have for everyone's
shelf. An enjoyable read." - Martin Grams, Jr., author of The
Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic Over 500
pages of intense research.
