Curt Swan cvr/art; 1st app. of Krypto the Superdog!
Adventure Comics #210 shows Superman still hosting key comic moments with the first appearance of Krypto the Superdog. Otto Binder and Curt Swan dreamt up a pet for the teenage Kal-El while likely considering the mid-50’s craze for hit TV shows like Lassie and The Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin. Krypto, however, would outlive those pop-culture fads and remain a DC fan favorite over the decades.
This issue has the space-bound pup (having been the subject of an experiment by Superman’s father, Jor-El) arriving on Earth after his ship is fortunately knocked off-course. The original reunion is sort of bittersweet, with Krypto’s sudden appearance putting Superboy’s secret identity at risk. Luckily, interest in the new animal hero soon had the writers coming up with plentiful new stories as Krypto became a featured regular in the Superman/Superboy mythos. There's now set to be a whole new level of Kryptomania, of course, with Superman's dog finally getting a live-action turn with a major role in 2025's hotly-anticipated big-screen Superman.
_______________________________________________
James Gunn’s “Superman” is due out in theaters this summer, and anyone who has seen the trailers will know that Krypto the Superdog will feature prominently in the surefire blockbuster. That can only mean one thing: investors and Super-fans alike will be searching high and low for copies of the cosmic canine’s first appearance. ComicConnect is happy to offer this FN- copy of Adventure Comics #210 in EA #62. The book is quite solid, with nice corners and a sturdy spine. This issue is difficult to find, especially in higher grades, with only 205 copies recorded on the CGC census. We would consider this a very shrewd purchase with great upside potential.
