![]() Supergirl exploded into Superman's life in Action Comics #252. But Weisinger's most notable contribution to the "Superman Family" was the introduction of Superman's long-lost cousin, Kara Zor-El - Supergirl! Under Weisinger, however, the Superman mythos underwent a sustained expansion, with the introduction of the Phantom Zone, multicolored versions of Kryptonite, and Krypto the superdog (as well as the rest of the super-pets). ![]() The Man of Steel was already featured in several DC titles - Superman, Action Comics, World's Finest (teamed with Batman), and Adventure Comics (featuring his adolescent, exploits as Superboy). But they also expanded their current super-hero franchises, with one of the most important being the Superman titles, headed by editor Mort Weisinger. As demand for the colorful heroes grew in the late 1950s, DC Comics reacted by revamping many of their greatest heroes from the Golden Age - heroes like the Flash, Green Lantern, and the JLA. The Silver Age of comics had begun, and the concept of costumed super-heroes was once again gaining mass appeal. ![]()
