Owner's Description

Funeral for a Friend Part 7 - “Ghosts"
Cover Date: March, 1993

Louise Simonson story
Jon Bogdanove & Dennis Janke cover & art

Grade Date: 11/04/2020

I feel this cover was a missed opportunity, I hate to call it lazy, especially since I'm not an artist, but it could have been so much more, perhaps this was a deadline crunch. The story more than makes up for this, I actually got chocked up after reading it for the first time when I was a kid. Jonathan "Pa" Kent is still grief stricken over the loss of his son, a few flashback sequences emphasize this and the ending...

...is heartbreaking.

Story continued in Superman #77 (3/93).
