The SUPERBOY TV Mixtapes Vol. I — Series Overview & Clark Kent's Journey

Host Anthony Desiato launches a quartet of "mixtape"-style discussions digging into the 1988-1992 SUPERBOY television series starring John Newton (Season 1) and Gerard Christopher (Seasons 2-4).

In Vol. I, Anthony welcomes Superman historian Ed Gross (Voices from Krypton, the forthcoming Superman: The Definitive History) to discuss the show's conception, production, and evolution — particularly as it made drastic changes to its setting, tone, and supporting cast (not to mention lead actor!) over the course of four seasons.

They also discuss a selection of key Superboy-centric episodes, including "Abandon Earth" & "Escape to Earth," "Superboy...Lost," "A Day in the Double Life," "Rebirth," "Rites of Passage," and more.

"A Superboy Fan Journey" Chapter VIII.
