Owner's Description

"The Trial of the Jackal"
November, 1992

Roger Stern story
Jackson Guice & Denis Rodier art
Jackson Guice cover

Robin (Tim Drake) appearance.
Doomsday cameo on last page.

"Somewhere else... Doomsday is here!"

I found the second printing of this issue when I was a kid, I had a hard time finding the four Superman titles dated 11/92. This issue also recognizes the passing of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster (1914-1992).

Aside from being apart of the Doomsday storyline and my childhood nostalgia, I really enjoy this cover. The full moon setting and a lycanthropic antagonist: The Jackal, make for a unique and haunting cover seldom seen in Superman books.

eBay BIN: 11/26/2008 - $29.99

This issue has a second printing and the last page (Doomsday teaser) is reprinted in The Death of Superman (1993) and Superman: The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus (2013).
