ACTION COMICS #689 CGC 9.8 SIGNATURE SERIES

THIS BOOK WAS SIGNED BY ROGER STERN

Roger Stern was born 1950 in Noblesville, Indiana.
Stern broke into the industry as a writer in 1975 as part of the Marvel Comics "third wave" of creators, which included artists John Byrne and Frank Miller, and writers Jo Duffy, Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio. Stern worked as an editor from 1976 to 1980. Jim Shooter claims that Stern co-plotted (as a ghostwriter) his last few stories for DC Comics in 1976.

He began freelancing for DC Comics, where he was one of the core Superman writers for almost a decade, working on Superman (vol. 2), Action Comics, and Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. He contributed to such storylines as "Panic in the Sky" and "The Death of Superman" which revived interest in the character in the early 1990s. He created the Eradicator in Action Comics Annual #2 and later incorporated the character into the "Reign of the Supermen" story arc beginning in The Adventures of Superman #500.] Stern wrote the 1991 story wherein Clark Kent finally revealed his identity as Superman to Lois Lane. In Summer 1995, Stern and artist Tom Grummett created a new quarterly series, Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. Additionally, Stern was one of the many creators who worked on the Superman: The Wedding Album one-shot in 1996 which featured the title character's marriage to Lois Lane. Other work for DC included a relaunched Atom series drawn by Dwayne Turner and the co-creation of the Will Payton version of Starman with artist Tom Lyle.

Roger Sterns contributions are noted in Action Comics No. 601–642, 644–657, 659–665, 667–693, 696–700, 737 and Annual No. 2–3.
