Owner's Description

I've had this book for awhile and am glad it got added to the set. I had a raw copy of this book since it came out but could never find a decent copy to send to CGC. For awhile it seemed like there were raw copies in just about every bargain bin of every store I walked into but I could never find a nice clean copy. I finally came across this on eBay years ago and grabbed it. I bought this book long before I even considered building a CGC Registry set, it was just a time when I was gathering pretty much any Doomsday related collectibles that I could find. I did not even consider how rare graded copies may be; right now there are only a total of eight graded and only two are 9.8. I don't remember exactly what I paid for this but I do remember it not being very much. I like this book as I feel it adds a bit of formal commemoration to Superman's death. I do feel a little guilty about stealing Clark Kent's mail though!

I also think its funny that Lex Luthor took out an advertisement for his airline on the back of the very magazine commemorating <i>The Death of Superman...

Once again #1 in the Skies over Metropolis</i>, <i>faster than a speeding bullet</i>, and <i>an unchallenged leader...</i>

The entire ad shows how happy Luthor is at the fact that Superman seems to be deceased.

<i>Look!

Up in the Sky!

Luthor is still a jerk!</i>

Thanks go out to fellow board member <i>Brandon Shepherd</i> for concurring with my forum request that this book be added to this set. I also appreciate Mollie taking the time to discuss the addition with the Graders. I might not have been allowed to share this Newstime book here if not for Mollie and Brandon's help. Thank you!

When I asked to add this book I was pretty new to the Registry and had also asked to add a few others that I now realize clearly don't belong here... I was a noob and <i>Brandon</i> and Mollie helped square me away! Here is a link to my post, which includes Mollie's reply:
