The Adventures of Superboy is a proposed TV series that was put into production in 1961.[1] It was meant to capitalize on the success of Adventures of Superman, which went out of production in 1958. Only a pilot episode ("Rajah's Ransom")[2][3] was produced, although 12 additional scripts had been prepared, had the series been picked up.
It featured the first portrayals of Superboy and Lana Lang outside of comic books, and stands as a forerunner of later series based on Clark Kent's youth: Superboy, which lasted four seasons, and Smallville, which lasted ten seasons.
