This week, it's everyone's favorite super dog: Krypto! We talk Krypto's origin story and his first appearance in 1955 from the minds of Otto Binder and Curt Swan. Then we tackle a doozy of Silver Age Silliness from 1961 as Krypto tangles with Lex Luthor's super powered dog Wolf as he becomes Destructo, the superhound of hate - a canine foe determined to frame Krypto. We wrap up by discussing what Krypto's appearance in James Gunn's Superman means for the series tone and why Gunn might have chosen to include the flying four legged hero. All this and more!
