American Update: Death of Superman Collectors’ Edition, and the first full appearance Doomsday!
*DC: While ordinarily items from the 1990s are too recent to significantly cross our radar, there are inevitable special cases, and these items – key chapters in the ‘Death of Superman’ event which rocked fandom in the 1990s – are such exceptions. In Superman: The Man of Steel #18, readers were treated to the first full appearance of Doomsday, Superman’s genetically-engineered nemesis; in issue #19, there was the definitive Superman/Doomsday battle, which led directly into the notorious Superman (2nd series) #75, in which the Man of Steel met his demise. For a while, at least. In view of their importance and popularity, we’ve elevated these to catalogue status. Superman: Man of Steel #18 is NM p £30; issue #19 is NM p £10 and Superman #75, the Collectors’ Edition, First Print, still sealed in polybag with all premiums and extras, NM £25. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
