Owner's Description

I liked the black border on all of the Funeral for a Friend books and the way they were numbered across the top. The black border does make high grade copies very hard to find though, especially of the later printings which are hard enough to find to begin with! As I said in my set description, if I only knew then what I know now... I would have done a much better job of collecting the later printings when they were sold new. That definitely would have saved me a lot of time and money but it wouldn't have been as fun as it is to be on the hunt for them now!

I won this book on eBay for $87.00.

This version of Supergirl visually reminds me of Helen Slater as Supergirl, particularly the colors of her suit as they appear under the night sky of this cover. I attached a signed photo I have of Helen Slater as Supergirl that I got about 20 years ago for comparison. I don't know if this similarity was intentional, a mistake, or maybe it's just my imagination. Either way, I think it's kinda cool.
