Owner's Description

"Funeral for a Friend - Part 6: Who's Buried in Superman's Tomb?"
February, 1993

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

Guardian (Jim Harper) & Supergirl (Matrix) appearance.

This dark, mysterious and eerie cover is my second favorite from "Funeral for a Friend", next to Superman #76. This is an issue I see in almost every comic book shop, con and used book store I've ever been too - or will go to! The conditions are always so-so on the copies I seen in the wild, so, holding this certified example of such a common book in high grade gets me every time.

Won on eBay on 8/14/2008 for $17.51.

Grade Date: 07/25/2008

This issue has a second printing - difficult to find in any condition - and is reprinted in World Without A Superman (1993) and Superman: The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus (2013).
