Superboy is the name of several comic book series published by DC Comics, featuring characters of the same name. The first three titles feature the original Superboy, the legendary hero Superman as a boy. Later series feature the second Superboy, who is a partial clone of the original Superman.

The first series featured the original Superboy, a teenage incarnation of the Man of Steel. It began publication in 1949, four years after the character’s debut in More Fun Comics #101 (January 1945). The majority of the stories were set in the rural town of Smallville during the character’s youth. The supporting cast included Superboy’s adoptive parents Jonathan and Martha Kent, his over-inquisitive classmate and neighbor Lana Lang, best friend Pete Ross (who was secretly aware of Superboy’s true identity as Clark Kent), Police Chief Parker, and the super-powered canine Krypto. With the exception of a teenage Lex Luthor, who was a frequent foe of the Boy of Steel, almost none of the featured villains appeared more than once.
Beginning in the early 1960s, several stories featured appearances by the futuristic Legion of Super-Heroes. The Legion starred in their own backup feature starting with #172 (March 1971). With issue #197 (September 1973), the Legion became permanent co-stars, and the cover logo became “Superboy starring the Legion of Super-Heroes” while the title of the book itself remained Superboy. With #222 (December 1976), the cover logo became “Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes” and the book’s title itself followed with #231 (September 1977). Starting with #259 (January 1980), the title was changed to Legion of Super-Heroes (volume 2), and the Boy of Steel left the team and the book. Though Superboy later rejoined, he made only occasional appearances in the series that once bore his name, and the series remained a Legion book until its last issue, Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #354 (December 1987).

For much of this period, DC also published Superboy tales in Adventure Comics, which began featuring the Boy of Steel regularly in issue #103 (April 1946).
