Superboy (1st Series)

(DC, 1949-1980, 2002)
™ and ©1969 DC Comics, Inc.
Series continued in Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #231

Encouraged by the long-lasting popularity of Superman, DC decided to launch several follow-up titles. Titles such as Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane, and Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen concentrated on supporting cast, and Superboy went back into his own past, telling of Clark Kent’s adventures as a teenager.

The stories here were lighthearted and often gimmicky. A Bizarro-Superboy, Super-Baby, Super-Dog, and even a Super-Monkey were concocted for this series. Superboy’s main problems, however, were balancing the need to save the world, protecting his secret identity, and fending off the romantic advances of Lana Lang and others.

With issue #231, the title became known as Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes. With issue #259, Superboy faded from view, and the title’s name changed officially to The Legion of Super-Heroes.
