Owner's Description

<i>From the 'NO ONE CAN KILL SUPERMAN!' collection.</i>

I had found several raw copies of this book but had no luck finding any worthy of submission. I also did not have one ready to submit when I was able to get the copy you see here. Even more exciting than getting this book at all, was the fact that I was able to get the third printing at the same time fo finish up all three printings of this book. I had this book reholdered in February 2021.

I really love this cover and think it was a great idea to use Supergirl to recreate the cover of Action Comics 1 during this storyline while Superman was presumably dead.

I included a <i>Superman Wall-Relief Sculpture</i> in the second picture slot. This was put out in 1997, I ordered it through <i>Previews</i> and paid $99.00 for it. Created by William Paquet, it is hand painted cold-cast porcelain limited to 800 pieces; mine is 460. I thought it would go well with this book for obvious reasons. It's also just a neat piece that you don't see come up for sale that often so I thought it would be fun to share it here.
