The Phantom Zone is a prison-like parallel dimension appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by the Kryptonians, it was designed as a place of exile for dangerous criminals; where time dilation behaves differently and the laws of physics don't apply. When someone is transported there, they do not age nor die, but they're trapped in a state of suspension. It is mainly associated with stories featuring Superman. It first appeared in Adventure Comics #283 (April 1961), and was created by Robert Bernstein and George Papp. It was frequently used in the Superman comics before the continuity was rebooted in the 1980s after Crisis on Infinite Earths and has appeared occasionally since.
