Owner's Description

I love the silhouette of Doomsday on this cover. We haven't yet glimpsed this evil in it's entirety but we soon will! Most of the JLA is down but the battle rages on!

It seems to me that this is beginning to be one of the easier first printings from the Doomsday portion of this story to find in 9.8. As of this writing, there have been about 4-5 of these on eBay pretty much continuously for the past several months. I haven't checked the actual sales but it is definitely available at a good price for those looking for it.

This was also one of the first books I had already graded 9.8 Universal when I first registered my set. I had that book reholdered in December 2020 just to end up replacing it with this Signature Series book the same month. I bought this ss copy on eBay for $175.00. At that time I was just in search of two more 9.8's to complete the entire set in 9.8/above... I was getting a little impatient and upgrading to Signature Series books where I could to keep my set competitive while still searching.

I added a second book signed by Dan Jurgens in the second picture slot. This is the <i>Wizard: The Superman Tribute Edition</i>. Although this book would never be an official member of this set I wanted to display it here alongside this other Signature Series book from Dan. This is one of only four Signature Series 9.8 copies of this book... I also own the lone Universal 9.8 copy of the <i>Wizard Authentic Edition</i> of this same book, which has a Gold Foil logo on the cover.
