Owner's Description

From my original raw collection.

To me, this cover has a strange science fiction vibe to it. It isn't one of my favorite covers but I do like the mysterious aspect of it. It would be really cool to have an actual floating chair like that!

If I did have a floating chair like that I would probably sit in it and drink IPA's from the mug I show in the second picture slot. This is a California Originals Superman Mug by Jim Rumph that was put out in 1978. According to some sources this was only sold in certain theaters while Superman: The Movie was being shown but I cannot confirm that. This mug is HUGE and holds several beers and YES I do drink out of it when I am in the right mood... usually kicking back playing a video game or rewatching a superhero movie. Over the course of about ten years I was able to put together a set of four of these. Okay, I've got the mug now I just need the floating chair!

Who is watching the Supermen? Or rather... ‘he awakes!’

You don't see this book come up very often so I am glad that I took care of it and that it came back 9.8! I am really happy that some of my original raw books, like this one, achieved 9.8 and are members of this set... they create a connection from the earliest days of my collecting until now, which feels kinda cool.
