January, 1993

Dan Jurgens story
Dan Jurgens & Rick Burchett cover & art

"Funeral for a Friend" storyline begins.
Second, third and fourth printings have no outer cover.

Golden State copy.

The first 5 pages of this issue are set right after Superman #75, and continued in Adventures of Superman #498, the aftermath of Superman's death. The rest of the issue focuses on the arrival of most of the heroes of the DC Universe at the Justice League headquarters, as the events in Adventures of Superman #498 are unfolding. As a result of Doomsday's rampage, Blue Beetle is comatose and Booster Gold is powerless, leaving the future of the League uncertain.

"People who were alive in 1963 can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing the day John Kennedy was shot. And even though it was much longer ago, the same can be said of the day F.D.R. died. Today is one of those days. For this is the day that a Superman has died."
