Owner's Description

These die cut covers were my first introduction to multiple covers for the same book. I liked that only the <i>S</i> of that particular Superman imposter was showing through. The fact that there were four new Supermen was pretty intriguing at the time. In this case, The Eradicator was a pretty ruthless Supes that took no prisoners!

I got this book off of eBay for $39.99, which I think was a very fair price. I remember feeling like I had struck gold when I found the whole raw set of these four die-cut covered books in a Comic Book Shop in Savannah, Georgia in 1993. It was so fun back then to travel to different places, and find new stores to explore, looking for treasures.

I included a cool Eradictor figure in the second slot. This is from the early days of DC Direct, and is from <i>The Return of Superman</i> line. I remember my Wife and I picked up the entire set at a Comic Book Shop in the mall in Oceanside, California. These were pretty hot at the time and we just got lucky by stumbling in when they had just been put on the pegs.
