Owner's Description

I enjoy the color choices that were made on the various printings of this book. I won this book on eBay BIN for $72.24, not too bad.

I had been looking for this printing for awhile and finally found it for a fair price. I then searched pretty aggressively to find all of the subsequent printings of this book and get them into this set in a fairly short period of time. I sold a Marvel book I had to get a couple of the printings of this book, which I mention in their slots.

Having all five printings of this book in 9.8 felt like hitting a major milestone in the process of building this set. I later upgraded the first printing to a 9.9 thanks to <i>the 'NO ONE CAN KILL SUPERMAN!' collection</i>, even better! The book in the second image slot also came from that collection!

Speaking of the book in the second image slot... when the entire <i>Doomsday, Funeral for a Friend, and Reign of the Supermen</i> storylines concluded we still didn't have any idea where the creature that came to be known as <i>Doomsday</i> had come from! In 1994 the three part <i>Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey</i> did an amazing job of not only giving <i>Doomsday</i> an origin story but it also concluded (sort of) the story of Superman v Doomsday. Later, in 1995 this <i>Doomsday Annual 1</i> even further elaborated on what <i>Doomsday</i> had been up to his first year after pulverizing Bertron back on a primitive Krypton... so so so <i><b>COOL!</i></b> This is one of only four 9.8's, three of which are Signature Series, and mine is signed by Dan Jurgens. I'm happy to show it here with the <i>first</i> full appearance of Doomsday... we get to see the monster fully in his containment suit in the first image slot and then in his birthday suit in the second slot... <i><b>CRAZY!</i></b>
