Superman (vol. 2) # 75 Collector’s Edition Signed

Date: December, 1992

Creative Team: Dan Jurgens (Artist/Writer), Brett Breeding (Inker), Mike Carlin (Editor)

Condition Notes: Mint condition, Sealed in Black Bag.

This is the final part of the Death of Superman storyline, which sees the iconic DC super hero fall in battle to the villain Doomsday. This comic event mirrored the real time death of Superman co-creator artist, Joe Shuster (July 10, 1914 – July 30, 1992).

This comic was released in two major editions, the Collector’s edition and Newsstand edition. While both editions featured the same interior artwork, they had two very different covers. The Collector’s edition features a black bag with a bloody Superman emblem. If one were to remove the comic from the black bag, the cover of the Collector’s edition features a tombstone like motif. The Collector’s edition included several items which necessitated the need for the bag. The contents included a poster, mourning armband, stamps, trading card, and Daily Planet editorial.

Signature Notes: This comic is signed in a silver metallic Deco paint pen by seven members of the creative team that worked on the Death of Superman storyline.
