The History of DC Comics, one issue at a time
When Mon-El first appeared he had amnesia and Superboy just assumed he was kryptonian and named him after the day it happened to be.
Superboy later decides that Mon-El was lying about the thing he had just assumed was true.

One of my favorite comics on DC Universe Infinite is the single issue of Green Lantern vol 1 they have: #10 from December 1943. I have no idea why it's there. It hasn't been cleaned up like they do with most old books and has a nice little disclaimer on the first page.

New Fun #3, April 1935.
Stories are starting to find their footing, though some get cancelled or delayed causing unresolved cliffhangers.
The cover features an installment of Don Drake on the Planet Saro, which was a pretty fanciful sci-fi story. Check out that beast!

#DCComics have always been my primary comic love. I enjoy Marvel too, but DC has always just clicked for me. I see DC as, essentially, having defined superhero archetypes: characters are compared to Superman or Batman or the Flash.

New Fun #2, March of 1935. Largely just continuing the stories from #1, we run into the first big issue of reading old, golden age comics: lack of quality access.
Most of these aren't on the subscription service, so old microfiche scans are the best available, short of trying to buy 90 y/o book.

The origin of the company that would go on to become, eventually, DC Comics, is New Fun Comics (February, 1935).
For decades the comics were anthologies, with these earliest ones having a title a page. It features a mix of adventure serials and gag strips.
