Despite having superpowers, being Superboy sure ain’t easy! Especially if you happen to be growing up in Smallville, Kansas, where subterranean cities, super brats, and robot doubles seem to be a dime a dozen. But it isn’t all bad, especially when you have a loyal super-dog like Krypto by your side. This classic volume reprints adventures such as “Superboy Meets Superlad,” “The Super Brat of Smallville,” and Krypto’s first-ever comics appearance in “The Super-dog from Krypton” from Adventure Comics #199-216 and Superboy #33-43.
Otto Binder was one of the most prolific comic book writers of the industry’s Golden Age, co-creating Supergirl, and providing impactful contributions to characters including Superman, Captain Marvel, and more. An inductee of the Eisner Hall of Fame and Kirby Hall of Fame, Binder passed away in 1974.
