Superboy: The Comic Book
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superboy: The Comic Book was a DC Comics comic published title based on the TV series "Superboy/The Adventures of Superboy" (1988-1992). From 1989 to 1991, DC Comics published a new comic series (Superboy, second series) based on the TV series Superboy (1988-1992). It's intent was to explore some of the unseen tales and events that the TV show's 26 half-hour episodes a year could not do, and would be based entirely on the TV show, but would tackle all-new adventures. The series was originally titled: Superboy: The Comic Book, from #1 -10 (only the covers bearing that title; the book was simply officially titled as "Superboy" in the indicia). After issue #11, the series changed its cover title (as the TV show had done) to The Adventures of Superboy (but the comic book was not officially renamed under that title until issue #19, in the book's indicia information) as well as displaying a short-white box next to the title (logo) which read "As Seen on TV." The series concluded in a 'One-Shot" Special, which wrapped up all the adventures and stories from the previous issues as having been daydream fantasies from the 'post-crisis' (Earth-1) young Clark Kent. None of them had actually taken place, only in his imagination. It became a kind of companion piece to 'John Byrne's Man of Steel (mini-series).
