Owner's Description

<b>Things are <i>BOOMING</i> in Coast City!</b>

The battle is definitely heating up and villains are revealing their true intentions. Cyborg Superman isn't afraid to shoot someone in the back to get things done!

The first 9.8 to occupy this slot was one of four books that I got in a trade for Superman 75 and Adventures of Superman 500 Platinum Editions both graded 9.6. I later upgraded to this Signature Series book. I really like the placement of the signatures on this book and the yellow label is amazing with this cover!

I also like the mail away figure in the second image slot even though, when I mailed away for it, I thought it was going to be carded. I had to open five Man of Steel figures, and cut out and mail in the UPC's to get this guy. There was one other obstacle and that was that I was living in Japan at the time and did not have easy access to these figures. The Base Exchange had a very small toy department of about two short aisles and to make it worse you had to compete with people that actually wanted toys for their kids, <i>ha!</i> Therefore, I would go there at lunch as often as possible to see if they had any new figures, finally one day I went when they had just put these out! I bought every one they had so I could have enough to open for this mail away and to have one each carded. Even though I was/am an adult these kinds of mail aways are still pretty fun. I bought a second one of these figures on eBay years later, and it was nowhere near as satisfying as it was to do the work to get the first one.

The Eradicator's hair looks much better on this figure than it does on the cover of this book!
