"Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound!"

"Look! Up in the sky!"
"It's a bird!"
"It's a plane!"
"It's Superman!"

"Yes, it's Superman - strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman - defender of law and order. champion of equal rights, valiant, courageous fighter against the forces of hate and prejudice, who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way."

The Adventures of Superman, adapted from the DC Comics character created in 1938, came to radio as a syndicated show on New York Citys WOR on February 12, 1940. On Mutual, it was broadcast from August 31, 1942 to June 17, 1949, as a weekly serial. It was aired on a three-times-a-week schedule from January 31, 1949 to June 17, 1949. The series shifted to ABC Saturday mornings on November 5 1949, and then to twice-a-week in June, 1950, continuing on ABC until March 1, 1951.

The character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster arrived on radio not long after the comic book and took on an added dimension with Bud Collyer in the title role. During World War II and the post-war years, the juvenile adventure radio serial, sponsored by Kelloggs Pep, was a huge success, with many listeners following the quest for "truth, justice and the American way" in the daily radio broadcasts, the comic book stories and the newspaper comic strip.
