... ious one is _Batman_ #293, in which he appears on the cover with Batman and helps him fight Lex Luthor. But the first such crossover came in _Batman_ #101 (August 1956), with Supes helping Batman preserve his secret identity in that story. Mort Weisinger was apparently more comfortable borrowing Batman to guest-star in Superman stories than Jack Schiff (and, later, Julie Schwartz) was in using Superman in Batman stories. That's probably why Supergirl, Krypto, the Phantom Zoners, et al, made no appearances in the Schiff-edited issues, but did turn up in _World's Finest_ once Weisinger started editing it.

... racter burst thru the Comic firmament -- Superboy! Rocketing to earth from the planet Krypton, he landed in a suburb of Metropolis in MORE FUN COMICS #101, stayed there for four or five issues, and then moved to ADVENTURE for a 20+ year run. Created by Don Cameron and Joe Shuster under the watchful eye of editor Jack Schiff, the "Adventures of Superman when he was a boy" soon became a popular feature, which was unusual because super-heroes were rapidly losing ground to other kinds of comics at this time.
