This is “Got Me a Secret,” a feature where I spotlight notable instances of comic book characters revealing their secret identities to people (or people figuring out the secret identities themselves). Today, we look at how long Superman waited before planning to allow Supergirl to learn his Clark Kent secret identity (but Supergirl beat him to the punch). Mort Weisinger was the editor of the Superman titles during its peak dominance on the comic book sales charts. Note that this wasn’t Superman’s peak sales success PERIOD at the time, as it was selling nearly a million copies a month during the heyday of the Golden Age, but a LOT of comic books were selling a ton of comic books at the time, and Superman’s rival, Captain Marvel, was doing just as well if not better during the 1940s. However, while the rest of the superhero market fell by the wayside in the the 1950s, Superman continued to sell well, and Weisinger’s Superman was a class above every other superhero for years until the Batman TV show flipped the script on the World’s Finest heroes.One of these covers, Action Comics #258, sees Superman seemingly being a total jerk to Supergirl, but in reality, the issue would end with Supergirl learning Superman’s secret identity!
