Owner's Description

The Underworld Rises Again... and <i>Doomsday is Coming!</i> What else could go wrong?

Sequentially, this is the first Doomsday cameo book with <i>Doomsday is Coming</i> on the cover so I included the action figure in the second picture slot to show just <i>WHO</i> is coming! This guy looks like a formidable foe indeed!

This is a pretty cool book and I really enjoy having the second printing. I bought this book on eBay for $107.99.

(I now have all four second printings of the Doomsday cameos in 9.8 but have decided to leave my descriptions unaltered to explain the progression of finding them.)

I'm working on getting the second printings of all four Doomsday cameos. As of this writing I have 2 out of 4 and the other two are at CGC now in different submissions. I would love to have all four second printings of the cameos graded 9.8 just to have that small part of this set completely tied up!

Update #1 - I got Superman 73 second printing back 9.8! I'm now at 3 out of 4 of the second printing cameos in 9.8. I'm hoping for the best with the two Action Comics 683 second printings I am still waiting on. It will literally be a dream if either one comes back 9.8. I would love to add a picture of all four of them in 9.8 together somewhere in this set!

Update #2 - The Action Comics 683 second printings came back, the highest graded was 9.6. The 9.6 currently shares the highest grade spot in the census but it is also a disappointment because I was really hoping for a 9.8. I considered resubmitting the 9.6 but am worried that it could come back 9.4 so I decided to put it in the set. Immediately after I did this, I found three separate eBay listings from the same seller that each had 8-10 books in them. Each lot had an Action Comics 683 second printing buried in it. I bought all three lots for $30.00 each and the AC 683's second's were the gems of the bunch. I am going to submit all three with my next submission. Stay tuned.

Update #3 - I can't believe it! All three of the AC 683 second printings received 9.8! Full details are in that slot. <i>Finally... I have completed what I consider a set within this set within this set, the four Doomsday cameo second printings all graded 9.8!</i>
