Notes

  • "Superman's Phantom Pal!" was reprinted in Superman Family #178 and Superman: Tales from the Phantom Zone. The identity of Dr. Xadu is changed to Kru-El in the Superman Family reprint, due to continuity problems caused retroactively by Superboy #100 where Dr Xadu escapes the Phantom Zone and does not return. For this reason, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 62 could be considered to be Kru-El's first appearance.
