'Krypto' Unleashed For "Titans"

Take another look at super-dog 'Krypto' coming to the rescue of 'Superman', 'Batman' and 'Wonder Woman' on the cover of DC Comics' "Batman Superman" #11, on the news the 'canine of steel' is sniffing around for a live-action debut in the upcoming TV series "Titans":

Although animal members of "The Legion Of Super-Pets" appeared in various comic books, starting with super-dog 'Krypto' in 1955, the 'super-animals' made their official team debut in DC's "Adventure Comics" #293 (February 1962).

The roster included 'Comet' the 'Super-Horse', 'Streaky' the 'Super-Cat', 'Krypto' the 'Super-Dog', 'Beppo' the 'Super-Monkey' from 'Krypton' and shape-changer 'Proty II'.

Significant appearances include issue #322 (July 1964) when 'Proty II' is initiated into the team and issue #343 (April 1966), with the 'Super-Pets' helping the 'Legion of Super-Heroes' battle the 'Luck Lords'.

Issue #364 (January 1968) was titled, "The Revolt of the Super-Pets!"

The team rarely appeared after the Silver Age except for 'Krypto' who become a supporting character in various "Superman" comic book titles. 

Other versions of the 'Super-Pets' appeared in "DC Super Friends" #14 and on the cover of Marvel Comics' "Not Brand Echh" #7.

DC Super Friends included 'Ace the Bat-Hound'.

Also in Super Friends was the 'Aquaman' octopus 'Topo' and 'Jumpa' the 'Wonder Woman' kangaroo. The group was led by 'Ch'p', a squirrel-like 'Green Lantern', that became the 'inspiration' for Marvel's 'Rocket Raccoon' from "Guardians Of The Galaxy".
