Who is Beppo?

Beppo is a super-powered chimpanzee who traveled to Earth from Krypton, having stowed away aboard the rocket that carried the infant Kal-El to his new home. Exposed to Earth's yellow sun, Beppo gained Kryptonian abilities and became one of DC's beloved Super-Pets.

A charming piece of Silver Age DC whimsy, Beppo made their debut in 1962's House of Mystery #120, brought to life by the talented team of Dick Dillin and Bob Brown. Over more than six decades of comics history, this endearing character has shared pages with some of DC's most beloved figures β€” Green Lantern, Robin, Krypto, and Supergirl among them β€” popping up across titles like Tiny Titans, Adventures of Superman, and Adventure Comics. Modest in total appearances but remarkably long-lived, Beppo is the kind of delightful Silver Age find that reminds collectors just how wonderfully wide and weird the DC universe has always been.
