Video Comics was a very early (and not to mention low-budget) show on

When I was but a wee pup and living in Saudi Arabia where we had no TV o
movies to entertain us, my grandpa would mail us special Marvel comic book
that came with a record and you could listen to it like one of those old radi
dramas, with the performers voice-acting the roles and rudimentary soun
effects in the background.

I wonder if the "comic" where Bill Cullen meets Superman was on this show instead of an actual comic?
