First superman batman teamup

13 posts in this topic

worlds finest 71 is universally accepted as 1st true team up, I believe

 

hmmm.... I was wondering that myself. I read on wiki that worlds finest changed to a single story with them together in order to save money but i also read that they did it based on the success of superman #76. Thats where I got confused

I think the All Star 36 was published in 1947 and Superman 76 was published in 1952. Wasn't there a Team Up of those two guys on the radio show too.

they appeared together in AS 36, but didn't "team up" as in just the 2 of them...

They were a regular item on the Superman radio show. Remarkably, those shows are pretty lousy. However, Superman did break a lot of ground on the radio show - Daily Planet, kryptonite, team-ups, and some pretty forward-thinking social commentary on racism.

(I was sure the Supes #76 counted as their first team-up. Worlds Finest #71 began it on a regular basis in that series, was my understanding.)

having read them, WF 71 is the first time they were in a story together (thumbs u

 

They team up in the story in Supe 76, learn each other's identities and are listed as teaming up in the same story on the cover. I don't know that you can get any more definitive that their first duo team-up is Supe 76, not WF 71.

 

Too bad about the Action 1 :foryou:
