This issue has gained some significance in the hobby as the first appearance of the "black suit" (Kryptonian recovery gear), which has appeared in a few Superman films now. I had a chance to get a 9.8 copy of this issue on eBay for less than $20 back in 2009. I was getting ready to move and was on a tight budget. I did not see other 9.8 examples come up again until 2019/20, with prices north of $100.

Story continued in Superman: The Man of Steel #24 (8/93).
