I’m back with the 58th installment of the Golden Age of Comic Books! In this episode we discuss the Golden Age Superman-Batman Team-ups, brought to you by DC Comics. Although Superman and Batman first appeared on the cover of New York World’s Fair Comics (1940), they did not have a full team up and learn each other’s secret identity until 1952 when they appeared in Superman #76. They went on to have regular team-up stories starting in 1954 in the pages of World’s Finest Comics #71. There have been several origins of the team-up of Superman and Batman; most notably in Superman #76, World’s Finest #94 (1958) and Adventure Comics #275 (1960). The team-up of these characters has continued to the Modern Age of Comics, and they remain as popular as ever!
