Owner's Description
On August 14th 2020 my Dad died...and he is on my mind today. I will always remember that day. He was the only one who got really got me. I lost my best friend that day and it hurt...It also hurt when I thought they were going to kill Superman too. When I first heard the news that DC had decided to kill Superman I remember thinking…he can’t die. But then everyone around the world started chiming in…he was going to die…for real. There was an immediate pain in the pit of my stomach. He can’t die…He was the best of the heroes! Then the storyline began to hit the shelves and I was literally watching Superman being beaten to a pulp. Cuts and bruises and blood and the pain that I had knowing that this was going to be his swan song. On the day he died I was working the 3rd shift and the comic store didn’t open until 10:00am…I got off at 7:00am so I drove over to the parking lot of the comic store and waited…and waited. What I remember most about the day was it was drizzling out and that as I walked to door of the shop people followed me. I made the mistake of holding the door for people and they rushed in and didn’t return the door holding favor. Thankfully by the time I got to the black bag version there were a few left. I bought mine and read it…and they did it...They killed my favorite hero. and then came his funeral…flash forward to my Dad 's memorial service…He died…the only thing remaining was the pain in my stomach from when I learned that he was going to die soon and that I couldn't change that fact no matter how much I wanted to. Since I knew his time was short at least I had time to prepare for it…kinda.Just like when my Dad died I will always remember the day Superman died…I knew where I was that day and I knew where I was when my Dad died…sitting with him. At my Dad's memorial service people shared stories about how he was important to them and how he made a difference in their lives. They knew him as a good man. I knew him as my Dad and my favorite hero of all…I take great joy in the fact that two of my three children grew to love comic book heroes and I was able to introduce them to Dan Jurgens, the man who killed Superman...
