A super-powerful dog arrives in Smallville in a rocket complete with written records proving that he is baby Kal-El's puppy who Jor-El used as a test animal when developing his space rockets. Though happy to be reunited with his dog, Superboy needs to make sure that Krypto does not give away his secret identity several times before Krypto leaves for a romp in space.
Notes
Facsimile reproduction of Adventure Comics (DC, 1938 series) #210 March 1955 issue (first appearance of Krypto), including the cover, story, letter pages and advertisements from the original issue. The interior paper stock is a lightweight newsprint similar to the original issue. Modern DC logo, barcode, and age rating have been added to the back cover.
In this corrected printing of this facsimile issue, the ad that appeared on the inside front cover of the original 1955 issue was restored. The new promo titled "Krypto's Golden Biscuit Sweepstakes" was removed from this printing. That promo offered the opportunity to win a chance to attend the world premiere of director James Gunn's "Superman" movie taking place in Los Angeles in July 2025. Non-winning issues had the message "Sorry you didn't win", accompanied by a special code for a free 30-month trial to DC Universe Infinite's monthly Ultra tier. This corrected printing was not shipped in a polybag. this corrected printing has the same barcode as the first printing.
This corrected printing also corrects the printing error in the Aquaman story to restore the correct page 5 of this story.
