"Somewhere else...
...Doomsday is coming!"
This comic book has a special place in my heart due to the provenance of being the first appearance of Doomsday, albeit in cameo. As a kid I found a trading card featuring Doomsday, with the back noting the character’s first appearance in Superman: The Man of Steel #17. I also saw a cover image in a guide, being intrigued by the cover; I had to have a copy. I searched several comic shops in 1994/95 for this issue, I finally found a copy of the second printing in ‘95. The four Superman titles dated November 1992 with the Doomsday teasers on the last pages were difficult for me to track down back then.
Story continued in Superman #73 (11/92).
