Ĭover of Adventure Comics #296 (May 1962). Krypto the Superdog debuted in issue #210 (March 1955) in a story by Otto Binder and Curt Swan. Superboy's popularity in Adventure resulted in the character receiving his own title in 1949, when superhero titles in general were losing popularity. Superboy became the star of the book, and would appear on each cover into 1969 (counting Superman on the covers of issues #354–355). Starman's and Sandman's series were canceled to make room for the new features, while Genius Jones moved to the comic the new arrivals had just vacated.
Ī pivotal issue of the series was #103 (April 1946), when Superboy, Green Arrow, Johnny Quick, and Aquaman moved to the series from their previous home in More Fun Comics, which was itself converted to a humor format. Other superheroes who appeared in the early days of Adventure included Hourman (from #48 to #83) Starman created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Jack Burnley in issue #61 (April 1941) (#61–102) and Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's Manhunter replacing a similarly named business-suited investigator beginning with #73 (April 1942) until #92. The series' focus gradually shifted to superhero stories starting with the debut of the Sandman in issue #40. In issue #12, while the series was briefly re-titled New Adventure Comics, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel introduced the first version of the character Jor-L as a science fiction detective in the far future the character would eventually become the alien father of Superman, although the first Superman story, in Action Comics #1, would not appear until more than a year after Jor-L's first appearance. Originally a humor comic, it evolved into a serious adventure series. Cover of Adventure Comics #32 (November 1938), the first number under the Adventure Comics title.
